Coffee Hunting 2016/17 – Mountains of Espirito Santo – Zuccon

Georgia was received by the couple Edmar and Yvone Zuccon at Santa Clara Farm, in the Espírito Santo Mountains, in the municipality of Brejetuba. The Zuccon family has been a master at producing exceptional microlots of specialty coffees, with high scores. Several samples of these microlots were brought to the Luccalab, to choose our 2016-17 microlots.

The microclimate with cold nights and high altitude creates conditions for a prolonged maturation. The varieties produced at Santa Clara Farm are Catuaí and Catucaqui. Harvesting is done manually and selectively, and coffees processed as Fully Washed prevent drying in terrariums. New processes are being developed, with refermentation, or controlled fermentation
