Maranhao

Maranhao is an extended fermentation process, meaning cherries sit in the fermentation tanks for slightly longer, 72 hours in this case, leading to deeper and more complex flavours. There is a high risk to this method, and entire crops can be lost if mismanaged, which is a credit to the highly skilled work the Betti Family do at Sitio Maranhao. The reward is worth the risk in this case, resulting in a super unique, fruity and juicy flavour profile. From Cargo’s website: “With an annual production of 300 bags, Sítio Maranhão is a very small coffee farm. Contrary to popular belief, the vast amount of coffee produced in Minas Gerias comes from small, family managed farms just like Maranhão.
