BEHIND THE CUP
High amongst the misty peaks of Serra das Três Barras, the Junqueira family crafts a coffee that's as much a work of art as it is a beverage. Here, José Wagner Ribeiro Junqueira and his kin have turned coffee cultivation into a form of high art, marrying centuries-old traditions with the precision of modern science.
Every bean of Tres Barras tells a story of dedication and passion. Grown at altitudes that stretch the limits of the sky, the cherries are handpicked with a care that only those who cherish legacy can provide. This high-altitude haven ensures each cherry develops the complex flavors and aromatic brilliance that set Tres Barras apart.
The journey from cherry to cup is meticulously curated. After being handpicked, the cherries are transported across the estate—never touching the ground thanks to strategically placed cloths—to the sun-drenched patios where they begin their slow transformation under the watchful eyes of nature and artisans alike. The process doesn't rush; it honours the rhythm of nature, allowing each bean to dry naturally before resting in wooden silos, where the subtle notes of cacao and brown sugar are lovingly coaxed into maturity.
Once perfected, the beans make their way to Cocarive, where a team of skilled cuppers and Q graders await to ensure that only the best coffee carries the Tres Barras name. This rigorous quality assurance process combines traditional sensory evaluation with cutting-edge technology, guaranteeing a consistent profile that meets the exacting standards of specialty coffee.
But what makes Tres Barras truly revolutionary is its commitment to sustainability and community. In partnership with Cocarive, the farm not only produces exceptional coffee but also leads the way in environmentally sound practices. This coffee doesn't just taste good; it does good, supporting the land and the people who tend it.
Tres Barras Coffee isn’t just a choice—it’s a statement. It's for those who seek more than just a morning jolt; it's for those who believe that every cup of coffee should be a moment of reflection, enjoyment, and respect for the craft. It's for you.
Indulge in the craft of Tres Barras, where every sip is a step higher, a reach deeper into the heart of coffee culture. Elevate your routine, embrace the legacy, and enjoy a cup that’s brewed for the connoisseur in all of us.
