Region: Carmo de Minas , Minas Gerais Elevation: 1200 masl About: The Santuário project was started by Luiz Paulo in 2015. His intention was to create unique Brazilian coffees through innovating with new varieties, cultivation practices, and processing methods. Currently, Luiz grows more than 30 exotic varieties on Santuário Sul including GeishaGesha (Geisha)A rare, jasmine-and-bergamot scented variety originally from Ethiopia's Gesha forest, made famous by Panama's Hacienda La Esmeralda. Routinely the most expensive coffee at auction., Sudan Rume, SL-28SL28A Kenyan variety selected in the 1930s by Scott Agricultural Laboratories, prized for intense blackcurrant acidity and deep sweetness., and Laurina, to name a few. With much care, the varieties planted here are closely monitored to offer the best result within the climactic conditions of the region. Also, Luiz Paulo makes sure to always cup the first samples of each of these coffees. This coffee was picked by hand and taken to the wet millWashing stationA central mill where many smallholder farmers deliver cherry for processing. In Ethiopia, Kenya, and Rwanda the station name (e.g. Idido) often identifies the coffee., where the beans were separated with water in the washer, and then dried on African beds for 23 days. Santuário Sul has achieved a special position in the market, and Luiz is renowned for his pioneering spirit. “The goal is to always be at the vanguard of the market and offer increasingly more quality!”
