Over the last decade, Silvio Leite has been many things to us: a deeply knowledgeable and accomplished coffee mentor, a trusted sourcing partner, and a dear friend. In recent years, he’s fulfilled his long-time dream of becoming a coffee producer, and we’ve been lucky enough to offer his sweet and complex coffees on our menu.
This lot was grown by Silvio’s neighbour, Arnóbio Araújo, and processed by Silvio himself. Both men farm just outside the town of Piatã, where coffee is grown on a smaller, more intimate scale than in other parts of Brazil, and influenced by the landscape’s rich biodiversity, high elevation and cool climate.
Arnóbio’s approach to farming is grounded in slow, serious care – for the plants, the soil and the broader ecosystem. As Silvio told us, “The combination of Arnóbio’s careful cultivation, a highly biodiverse environment, and the microclimate of that small piece of land makes his coffees truly exceptional.”
