This is another lot from Mió’s Overripes programme - an ongoing project of pioneering processing methods to rescue coffees impacted by climate change (specifically air temperatures too high for too long), and originally classed as overripe and not usable for their intended purpose.
This specific lot - 65% of which was overripe - has gone through Mió’s ‘Aerated Fermentation’ process - a 72-hour controlled fermentation in which both aerobic (oxygen-rich) and anaerobic (oxygen-free) conditions are created in the same environment.
This means that, during fermentation, a proportion of coffee cherries are exposed to oxygen and a proportion aren’t. The result is differences in the molecular composition of the two environments and therefore different flavours created in each.
In the cup this process has driven rich complexity, prominent berry flavours and a syrupy texture. A lip-smacking Brazilian coffee.

After bloom, pour to 100g. Pause until the waterline hits the coffee bed and then repeat three more times to 250g. Again, pour quickly, carefully and in a circular motion.
Tip: Swirl brewer a few times during bloom to encourage saturation of coffee bed.
Featuring multi-step methods to help you make your coffee taste better, this guide is the helping hand that will help you to efficiently unlock the full flavour potential of your beans.
Mió is our Brazilian green coffee partner, and as the partnership moves forward into its fifth year, the farm's fermentation research into overripe coffee crop quality is spearheaded by Dr. Lucas Louzada - PHD in Production Engineering, Q-Grader, former Head of Coffee Design at the Institute of Espírito Santo, Chief Operating Officer of Mió and Founder of the Mió Institute (its research and development arm).
Lucas’ expertise speaks for itself - his work (including the Overripes programme) is identifying systems, accessible and scalable, with the potential to protect coffee from climate change not just in Brazil, but globally.
With Lucas, Mió has positioned itself at the frontier of innovation in coffee - a critical stakeholder in the present and future of the global industry.
