This lot comes from Mió’s overripes programme, where cherries that have begun to dry on the tree are rethought rather than written off.
Around 50% of the harvest was overripe, then fermented in closed tanks for 72 hours using Saccharomyces cerevisiae – a yeast more commonly associated with wine and beer – alongside added glucose and fructose as fermentation substrates.
Under these controlled conditions, the cherries are able to shine, transforming ripeness into flavour, challenging traditional Brazilian flavour profiles.

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.
