Location: Mió is a coffee farm in Monte Santo de Minas, Brazil, that exports, imports, stores, and sells coffee. Coffee harvested with care by Mió workers. The farm spans a total of 1,589 hectares.
A third of the land is used for the coffee processing and milling facilities, some pasture areas and the plantation of eucalyptus trees, which is home to some lovely bees. The rest of the land is equally divided between the coffee trees and the native forest reserve. With plenty of spring water in the estate, one of Mió’s responsibilities is to not only maintain the water flow but to also improve water quality.
Process: 80hr Carbonic Maceration. This method changes the coffee’s microbial and chemical characteristics, and positively impacts it’s sensory profile when the temperature is controlled to remain around 38 degrees celcius and the timeframe is kept close to 80hrs. Carbonic Maceration, when well executed creates bright acidity, creamy body and long aftertaste.
