Brewing Advice

Water is one of the most critical components of an excellent coffee experience. We recommend using mineral water of a soft Total Dissolved Solids count, ideally below 150 ppm. 

Rested coffee During the resting process, harsh and astringent flavors, which can even be perceived as a ‘roast’ character, soften out, allowing a clearer and brighter expression of the coffee’s character to shine.  

We recommend resting our coffees for at least 10 days after the roast date, and we often find excellent results, especially for particularly dense coffees, beyond 6 weeks.

Brewing Our straightforward approach to coffee carries over into brewing. We recommend our roasted coffee for all brew methods, regardless of whether it is immersion, percolation or espresso. We believe that there is one correct way to roast a single coffee, roasting lightly, in such a way as to release its innate qualities and showcase its quality.

Leandro Henrique Gomes

Bom Jardim Farm is owned and operated by Leandro Henrique Gomes, who carries a family legacy stretching back several generations of coffee producers. Leandro started his own journey in 2011, when he took over managing the family farm in the Esmeril region.

Bom Jardim

In 2017, Leandro partnered with his friend Ronianderson de Souza to establish Bom Jardim, near Patrocínio in the Cerrado Mineiro region of Minas Gerais. Starting with annual crops like soybeans and corn, they have gradually transitioned to coffee cultivation, planting their first 19 hectares in 2017. Today, 73 of the farm’s 120 hectares are dedicated to coffee cultivation. Leandro and Ronianderson use detailed analyses of soil condition to create a bespoke soil fertility corrections, maintaining a balance between the soil, plants, and the environment. Leandro’s  dedication has allowed Bom Jardim to thrive, despite early challenges with securing financial resources and building infrastructure.

This lot of Natural Topazio from the farm has a soft fruit character in the cup, reminiscent of cherry, on a base of sweet and creamy milk chocolate.

Cerrado Mineiro 

The region of Cerrado Mineiro is part of the state of Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil. In 2013 the region became the first in Brazil to be granted a protected designation of origin certificate, similar to Champagne or Scotch whisky. To qualify for the title ‘Cerrado’, the coffees must be speciality grade and grown above 800 masl in the Cerrado Mineiro region. The 4500 producers of the Cerrado region produces 6 million bags of coffee a year, from 210,000 hectares of coffee growing lands.

Most of the lands here are of quite low altitude compared to most of the coffee we buy here at La Cabra, and are more flat, rather than on more mountainous terrain. The region has characteristic and distinct seasons, with a wet warm summer, and a dry winter, leading to more consistency in growing conditions between years. The dry climate during harvest means less issues with drying coffees, part of the reason so many high quality naturals are produced here.
