Origin Information

Region: Primarily grown in Minas Gerais, particularly Sul de Minas, Mantiqueira de Minas and Cerrado Mineiro. Other growing areas include São Paulo and parts of Espírito Santo, in southeastern Brazil.

Growing Altitude: 900 to 1,500 metres (approximately 3,000 to 4,920 feet) above sea level.

Typical Harvest Period: April to September, with peak harvesting generally taking place between June and August.

Milling Process: Natural (Dry Process) or Pulped Natural (Semi-Washed). In the natural process, ripe yellow coffee cherries are harvested and dried whole in the sun before the outer fruit layers are mechanically removed. In the pulped natural process, the outer skin is removed before drying, leaving some mucilage attached to the beans. Both methods help develop the coffee's characteristic sweetness, body and smooth flavour.

SCA Score: Typically around 80–85 points, depending on the growing region, processing method and individual lot. Exceptional Yellow Bourbon specialty lots can score 86–88+ points.
