Fazenda Califórnia

At Fazenda Califórnia, Luiz Saldanha produces world-class coffee at the limits. As one of the few regions in the world where coffee grows outside the tropics, the Norte Pioneiro do Paraná demands innovative cultivation and processing techniques—an environmental challenge Luiz has met with a flavor-first approach to quality. This microlot was produced using his “Cold Soul” process, where fresh cherries are soaked in cold water before drying to slow and control fermentation, resulting in a clean, sweet, and complex cup.
