All about the coffee bean!
Tropical Bahia is the result of a rare combination of nature, innovation, and craftsmanship. Grown at high altitudes in the lush, mountainous regions of Bahia, these beans benefit from some of the finest cultivation conditions in all of Brazil. But what truly sets this coffee apart is the extraordinary journey it takes before it reaches your cup.
Faced with high humidity and heavy rainfall during harvest, forward-thinking producers transport their freshly picked cherries 50km to the sun-drenched Caatinga biome—a region known for its warm, dry climate. During this short trip, the cherries ferment inside a sealed truck, creating a unique processing environment.
This carefully controlled fermentation, never lasting more than 24 hours, unlocks an explosion of fruity sweetness, elevating every sip of Tropical Bahia.
