Fazenda Chapadão

A pioneer in coffee genetics, Gabriel Nunes was among the first growers in Brazil to plant Gesha. In 2017, he also became the first grower from the Cerrado Mineiro to win the Cup of Excellence. At Fazenda Chapadão, that pioneering spirit shows in every harvest — and this anaerobic natural Gesha may be its finest expression yet.

About Fazenda Chapadão

Fazenda Chapadão sits in the Cerrado Mineiro, Brazil’s first Denomination of Origin coffee region. Gesha, the variety Gabriel bet on early, is renowned for its luxurious complexity; today it is synonymous with quality and often found among the most coveted and highest-priced coffees in the world. For this lot, Gabriel took it one step further with anaerobic processing. The cherries ferment in sealed, oxygen-free tanks, which lets him guide the fermentation with precision. As a result, the variety’s famous florals grow even more expressive while the cup stays immaculately clean.

What’s in the Cup

Expect a stunning floral aroma, honey sweetness, and a bright tangerine acidity. The cup is delicate yet vivid, with a silky body and a long, perfumed finish. If you have ever wondered why Gesha commands such devotion, this is the cup that explains it. In short, this is a special-occasion coffee — the kind you brew slowly and share proudly. It belongs in a pour-over, where every layer gets room to unfold. Use a 1:16 ratio, grind slightly finer than usual, and take your time.
