Santuario Sul Geisha, Brazil - Filter

About This Coffee

This naturally processed Geisha from Minas Gerais, Brazil makes its second appearance at Seven Seeds and we couldn’t be more thrilled. This lot comes to us from Luiz Paulo, founder of Carmo Coffees and the visionary behind the renowned Santuário Sul project. This exceptional coffee benefits from his meticulous post-harvest drying techniques, which are designed to preserve the purity of flavour and showcase the inherent elegance of this highly sought-after varietal. Santuário Sul was established by Luiz Paulo Dias Pereira in 2015, motivated to challenge global perceptions of Brazilian coffee through experimental processing and expanded cultivar selection. Alongside traditional Brazilian coffee varieties like Yellow Bourbon, the farm cultivates over 30 exotic coffee types. Progressive practices such as shade-grown cultivation and innovative drying methods contribute to a vibrant spectrum of flavour profiles. Since its inception, Santuário Sul has earned a place in the Brazil Cup of Excellence four years in a row — a remarkable achievement. In 2021, Luiz’s naturally processed Yellow Bourbon secured 2nd place with an outstanding score of 90.14 points, underscoring his relentless commitment to quality and innovation. Luiz Paulo is a true pioneer in the industry, and we feel incredibly fortunate to showcase his work at Seven Seeds. It’s an honour to collaborate with him and the dedicated team at Carmo Coffees.
