Juicy tropical fruits, sweet desiccated coconut & lavender. Rafael Vinhal’s award-winning coffees exemplify his passion for creating a unique taste experience in every cup. A passion for craft and desire to produce truly outstanding coffee runs through the veins of the Vinhal family. Rafael and his father Afonso invested in quality and infrastructure, through experimentation with micro-lots, to bring the best out of every harvest. Unlike other micro-lots we offer from Rafael Vinhal, this lot was fermented only once. These naturally processed cherries are anaerobically fermented for up to 158 hours and then immediately flushed with water to stop the fermentation in a process called ‘thermal shock’. The result is an explosion of juicy tropical fruits, sweet desiccated coconut and lavender.
