BRAZIL PEDRO GABARRA SILILO LOT

It is within the rhythm of harvest that specialty coffee reveals its most honest surprises. Each season reshapes expectations and brings new expressions from familiar origins. This marks our second encounter with Fazenda Pinhal, sourced through Falcon Coffee. As a micro specialty producer, Fazenda Pinhal continues to demonstrate quiet confidence through careful cultivation and precise processing. This year we selected three exclusive lots, including two peaberry micro lots and one rare honey process, each showcasing a different perspective of their craft.

Once considered a defect and often overlooked, peaberry coffee has found a new appreciation among specialty coffee enthusiasts. Fazenda Pinhal gives this unique coffee the attention it deserves by carefully separating it from the main harvest, allowing it to develop its own identity and distinctive character. Arkib is honoured to secure the entire Sililo peaberry lot, making this rare expression exclusively available for our coffee community.

This coffee represents the evolution of Brazilian specialty coffee, proving that exceptional character can be found beyond conventional expectations. The hand brew reveals a comforting sweetness reminiscent of Japanese azuki red bean with a gentle starfruit brightness. Its smooth texture brings the nostalgic feeling of enjoying a local coconut dessert such as cendol. As espresso, it presents vibrant orange peel and green apple notes layered with delicate cashew sweetness. With milk, the profile transforms into creamy orange yogurt with hints of yellow apple. Sililo Peaberry offers a refreshing perspective on Brazil coffee, celebrating the beauty and complexity of a once overlooked variety.
