Brazilian specialty coffee pioneer Silvio Leite has devoted much of his career to unearthing hidden gems in the unique region of Chapada Diamantina, in Brazil’s estate of Bahia. Now, he is sharing the very best of those coffee with the world, through his Private Collection Auction: Silvio’s Secret Treasures!
This 120 kg nano-lot was specially prepared for Silvio’s PCA ‘Silvio’s Secret Treasures.’
Silvio purchased his 30-hectare farm, Cerca de Pedra São Benedito, in 2019 and started producing coffee here the following year. Currently 6 hectares are planted with coffee, including some Gesha, SL-28 and Pacamara varieties that Silvio is trailing on the land. This lot is a 50/50 mix of Red and Yellow Catuaí.
At Cerca de Pedra São Benedito, processing starts on the field. The team closely monitor the Brix degree of coffee cherries, as this gives them a good indication of when they have hit peak maturation — the perfect time for picking. Cherries were carefully harvested by hand, mostly by local women (called “panaderías de cafe”) who are extremely disciplined and ensure only the very best cherries are selected.
After pulping, the fresh mucilage was anaerobically fermented in tanks, with water covering the coffee, for 12 hours. The parchment was then transferred to raised African beds and dried slowly for 15 days, then finished in a greenhouse for a further 5 days. During this time, it was regularly turned to ensure even drying.
