BRAZIL JAZBLU PEABERRY

Coffee From Planalto In Bahia
The Planalto region is known for its fully washed coffee processed in fermentation tanks. This carefully controlled method, combined with a unique terroir and refined post-harvest practices, results in a remarkable sensory experience.
 
Planalto is a large plateau in the middle of the Caatinga, one of the driest biomes in northern Brazil. The first coffee estates here were founded in the 1970s by migrants from the south. Since then, coffee has become a central part of the region’s economy.
 
The high altitude and unique weather patterns here impact coffee tree behavior, productive cycle, and the harvest and post-harvest processes. Harvest begins later than other regions, because it rains more in Planalto. The moist environment gives way to multiple flowerings and results in uneven maturation. This generally requires selective harvesting by hand – an uncommon approach in Brazil due to the sheer scale of most coffee estates.
