Our Seasonal

Previously known as Brothers. Our current Seasonal Blend consists of 2 different single origin coffees from the following origins:

BRAZIL: Cachoeira da Grama
Fazenda Cachoeira da Grama, owned by the Carvalho Dias family since 1890, is a renowned coffee farm located in the Sul de Minas region of Brazil. For over 20 years, we've been very proudly buying coffee from this farm, which has become a hub for coffee variety research and innovative processing techniques since Bourbon Specialty Coffees joined the management in 2016. Nestled just north of the Minas Gerais border and bordering Alta Mogiana in São Paulo, the farm's mountainous terrain, ranging from 1,100 to 1,300 meters above sea level, provides ideal conditions for growing high-quality coffee. The unique topography and volcanic soil, coupled with cooler temperatures, contribute to the distinctive flavour profile of their coffee.

 
The Vale da Grama region, a historic coffee production area, has long been at the forefront of specialty coffee innovations. Fazenda Cachoeira da Grama primarily grows Yellow and Red Bourbon varieties of coffee, utilising Natural and Pulped Natural processing methods. The dedication shown to quality at Cachoeira has earned the farm multiple Cup of Excellence awards. Gabriel de Carvalho Dias, an agronomic engineer and leading agronomist, has been instrumental in driving the farm's success through his expertise and passion for coffee.
 
Spanning 417 hectares, with 64 hectares dedicated to coffee, Fazenda Cachoeira da Grama prioritises environmental sustainability by planting native species alongside coffee crops. The farm features modern amenities for its workers, including a school, club, football field, and 47 houses. Investments in coffee processing facilities, wastewater treatment, and a small hydroelectric plant highlight their commitment to sustainability. The Carvalho Dias family's dedication to land preservation and community support has enabled them to produce consistently excellent coffee, making Fazenda Cachoeira da Grama a standout in the global coffee community.

NICARAGUA: Finca La Escondida
Finca La Escondida is close to Lake Apanas near the city of Jinotega, which is the capital of the department of Jinotega in the north-central region of Nicaragua. The straight translation from Spanish to English of 'escondida' is ‘hidden’. Escondida is called 'Escondida' because the farm is 'hidden' from the road by forest and trees, which makes it appear to blend right into the side of the mountain.
