Brazil Oberon is a testament to the exceptional quality of the Cerrado region in Minas Gerais. This 100% Cerrado blend boasts a creamy body, sweet chocolate and citric notes, and a light acidity, resulting from a meticulously established profile. The consistent climate and altitude in the Cerrado, with average temperatures around 68°F and rainfall of 1,600 mm from December to March, are ideal for coffee production. The region’s rolling altitudes of 900 to 1,250 meters above sea level further enhance the coffee’s unique characteristics.
The Cerrado is home to approximately 140,000 hectares of coffee farms, with around 3,600 producers, most of whom are part of large cooperatives. These producers, known for their professionalism and use of high-tech harvesting machinery, ensure that the quality and uniformity of their coffee remain impeccable. Stockler, our sister export company in Brazil, has cultivated strong relationships with these farmers, contributing to the consistency of Brazil Oberon’s cup profile.
Cerrado coffee farms, varying in size from 100 to over 3,000 hectares, are dedicated to high-quality production. Farmers in this region are open to feedback, often tracing their best coffees to specific lots to improve their cup quality. For Brazil Oberon, consistency is paramount, with its rich, full, and round body complemented by lightly sweet aromas, chocolate, nutty flavors, and a fruity finish. The light acidity adds a refreshing touch, making Brazil Oberon an exceptional choice for coffee enthusiasts.
The blend includes Arabica varieties such as Mundo Novo, Catuaí, and Bourbon, harvested from May to September and processed naturally. For those interested in traceability, Brazil Oberon Ayabas is also available, offering transparency down to specific farm lots.
