Braver Flavour Subscription Coffee

Antonio inherited his farm from his father, who divided the land into smaller plots among his children. Initially growing corn and beans, Antonio had long dreamed of producing coffee, having worked on neighbouring coffee farms from a young age to learn the craft. In 1991, he planted his first coffee tree and, over the following 25 years, steadily expanded the farm, turning that early ambition into a livelihood built through patience and perseverance.

This particular lot reflects Antonio's commitment to quality. He chose to plant this celebrated variety despite the additional care and attention it requires, with cherries carefully picked at peak ripeness and transported to the wet mill the same day. After depulping, the coffee undergoes a long, slow 32-hour dry fermentation before being thoroughly washed.

The coffee is then dried on the patio for around 10 days, with the parchment turned frequently to ensure an even and consistent drying process. The result is a coffee shaped by experience, persistence and more than three decades of careful cultivation, from Antonio's first trees to this exceptional lot.
