Honey Process - This involves the mechanical depulping of the cherries at the wet mill while ensuring the mucilage stays attached to the beans. The sticky part of the cherry contains high amounts of sugar, resulting in a pronounced body, developing a chocolaty sweetness in the coffee.
Mió is a coffee farm in Monte Santo de Minas, Brazil, that exports, imports, stores, and sells coffee.
Spanning a total of 1,589 hectares, a third of the land is used for the coffee processing and milling facilities, some pasture areas and the plantation of eucalyptus trees, which is home to some lovely bees. The rest of the land is equally divided between the coffee trees and the native forest reserve. With plenty of spring water in the estate, one of Mió’s responsibilities is to not only maintain the water flow but to also improve water quality.
Dedicating the same amount of land to the coffee as to the native forest helps preserve the natural characteristics of the area. The farm is located between Southern Minas Gerais and the High Mogiana region. Two distinct terrains, one bringing a citric acidity, the other a full body and sweetness to Mió’s coffee.
Mio pride themselves on a 100% traceability guarantee for the entire crop every year. Each stage of the journey, from where the cherries were harvested, which trucks moved them, how and when they were processed, is tracked using satellite imagery. Being a technology-driven farm improves the farmworkers’ quality of life, ensures an abundant harvest and guarantees the highest processing standards for the crop.
