MEET OUR GROWERS

Partnering with purpose-driven and community-focused coffee growers, we head over to South America for this year's RISE blend, with two well-renowned coffee-producing countries, Colombia and Brazil. Introducing the Perez family from Racafé in Colombia, and the Chaves de Brito family from SMC in Brazil.

With a dynamic focus on enhancing the coffee-growing environment, as well as sustainable producing practices, these two families also prioritise nurturing the local wildlife. Taking a highly innovative approach, both are at the forefront of experimental coffee processing... resulting in a very exciting seasonal blend.

Perez family, Colombia

A true family affair, La Cabaña coffee is the creation of Danilo Perez, the son of farm owner, Gilberto. Danilo heads up the experimental lots, working very closely with the farm teams to produce exceptional quality, innovatively processed coffees involving natural, honey and anaerobic fermentations.

Aside from working hard growing coffee, the family focuses on creating camaraderie with their local community, preserving 6 hectares of the farm for forest and wildlife preservation. This, in turn, also helps protect the local water supply to neighboring villages, as well as create a welcoming home for armadillos and opossums.

Chaves de Brito family, Brazil

Our Aracaçu single origin coffee is the product of hard work and dedication by Carmem Lucia and her family. With a progressive, forward-thinking woman at the helm of the business, the fully solar-powered farm has saved 65 tonnes of carbon since 2024.

Pioneers in the Brazilian coffee scene, the farms also employ a full-time biologist who is responsible for advising on the microbiome and best biological controls. Committed to preserving 27% of their land as a natural sanctuary, they maintain a thriving habitat for wildlife, including toucans, parakeets, capybaras, anteaters, and ocelots.

Aracaçu further introduced some 3 million bees to the farm. These bees also help to increase sugars in the coffee cherries, resulting in a better-tasting crop. Employing local beekeepers, the farms are also boosting the regional economy (and producing plenty of honey.

Experimental Processing

Innovation is at the forefront of this year’s seasonal offering. The dynamic and exciting flavor profile is in large part due to the contemporary processing methods both contributing farms experiment with and adopt.

La Cabaña, Colombia

Over in Colombia, the Perez family are using experimental and innovative processing methods to achieve interesting results. Namely, their anaerobic fermentation, which takes place over 200 hours in airtight containers to ensure a uniform fermentation.

Prior to this, the coffee cherries are meticulously selected at peak maturation, and any not meeting the desired development standard are then removed by hand. Once suitable fermentation has occurred, the coffee is then dried outside on small patios.

Aracaçu, Brazil

At the Chaves de Brito family farm, coffee cherries are picked and sorted by colour to ensure only those at ideal maturation move to the next processing stage. Placed under banana leaves for 72 hours, and in an area that is most temperature stable (under the shade of banana and mango trees) the cherries are protected from the direct heat of the sun before being taken to concrete patios to be dried for a further 12 days.

New scientific research conducted by the farm has uncovered this as the crucial point at which gasses are exchanged between the cherry and the husk, positively influencing the natural flavour characteristics of the beans. Once complete, the coffee is then bagged and stored in a specialist conditioning room to extend the processing effect as much as possible.
