This coffee has been sourced and roasted for fuss free extraction in any manual or fully automatic espresso machine. 

For those of us that enjoy a sweet and mellow taste in our cup. Full of chocolate-like aromas with a delicate sweet finish. 

This is our attempt at putting chocolatey coffee on a pedestal, without the ashy or astringent flavors that unfortunately so often accompany this style of arabica. 

This type of mucilage dried processing was actually invented in Brazil, and this coffee is an excellent example of when it is done with expertise. The sweet milk chocolate flavors we love for Autopilot married with a clean and delicate finish.

Round and chocolatey coffees with depth, can also be elegant.

Fazenda da Água Limpa has been owned by the family of the current owner, Mr. Jorge Makssur, since 1920, when coffee plantations were already in operation there. Located in the Serra da Mantiqueira region, in the state of Minas Gerais, in the municipality of Cristina, the farm’s coffee plantations are situated at an elevation ranging from 900 to 1,250 meters.

It receives an average annual rainfall of 1,800 to 2,000 mm and has temperatures averaging around 18 °C.
Passionate about coffee cultivation, Mr. Jorge Makssur has carried on the work of his ancestors. The estate was the first in the region to produce high-quality coffee, achieving immediate success upon its first entry in a BSCA competition, where it took second place with a coffee scoring 95 points.

Today, at age 70 and still driven by great enthusiasm, he leads a well-trained team dedicated to ensuring the quality of the coffee produced. The farm is located within the designated area covered by the “Mantiqueira de Minas” designation of origin.

One of the owner’s main concerns is the environment, particularly the preservation of forests and springs. The property spans 380 hectares, 95 of which are designated as a legal reserve.

In terms of quality, the crops are managed by COCARIVE’s agronomists, who constantly monitor compliance with farming practices. The varieties grown on the property are as follows: Icatu, Yellow Bourbon, Yellow Catuaí, Catucaí, Acaiá, and Mundo Novo.

Harvesting begins when the cherries are ripe. The harvested coffee is transported daily to the processing center. It first passes through the washing machine, then through the pulper. On a concrete drying floor or a raised drying area, the coffee is spread out in thin layers and turned 12 to 15 times a day using special rakes, before being transported to the rotary dryer, where it undergoes slow drying at a low temperature.
