Santuario Sul, or Southern Sanctuary, is the birthplace of Carmo Coffees’ New Brazil Coffees, where new describes both the non-traditional cultivation, harvesting, and post-harvest processing practices espoused by Luiz Paulo and the unprecedented flavor profiles these are aimed at creating.

The impetus for founding this new specialty coffee project was the desire not only to anticipate, but shape, market trends. Its implementation began with bringing a diversity of coffee varieties from the different producing countries, acclimatizing them to the Brazilian environment, and then conducting experiments in fermentation and drying to give rise to a new spectrum of Brazilian cup profiles.

Currently, the traditional Yellow Bourbon grows alongside 30 considerably exotic coffee varieties including SL 28, Geisha, Sudan Rume, Acaia, and Starmaya.

Brazil has been cultivating Bourbon since the 1860s, from where it spread out to more areas in the Latin Americas. It is regarded as one the country’s traditional coffee varieties, which specialty coffee drinkers have come to widely associate with well-loved and familiar tasting notes leaning toward nuts and chocolate.

As part of Luiz Paulo’s ambitious endeavor to promote the next generation of New Brazil Coffees, unlike in conventional plantations, Santuario Sul Yellow Bourbon has been eco-consciously cultivated in the shade, harvested by hand at a specific ripeness level, and attentively processed with the intention of expressing more of a nuanced character, defined by distinctive yet mild fruit notes complementing its rich, nutty, and chocolatey sweetness.
