As the harvest season in Brazil comes to a close, most cooperatives have completed their first container exports, typically comprising of Good Cup and Fine Cup coffees that were pre-contracted before the season began.

In recent years, the understanding of producing Brazilian higher-scoring lots has significantly expanded. Producers are now dedicated to early plot mapping, identifying the areas that promise the highest quality outputs, ensuring uniform ripening for mechanical harvesting. Coupled with post-harvest improvements, we eagerly anticipate cupping the final results of our producers’ network. 

The specialty lots, which receive the highest scores, are not part of the initial export. Instead, they become available during the months of September, October, and even November. The Coffee Quest Brasil actively shares samples with us to find suitable homes for each of these coffees. Producers are enthusiastic about showcasing their lots but are also eager to sell them quickly. The inclination to sell early is fuelled by a favorable flowering season that foreshadows a larger harvest in 2024.

To expedite the process, it is crucial for roasters to communicate their preferences. The Coffee Quest can efficiently provide samples when we already know your preferences. Don’t miss out – sign up now, share your preferences using the form below, and help us secure the best lots before they run out.
