Creamy butterscotch sweetness with crisp green grape freshness and moreish nectarine acidity.

Yellow Bourbon is a highly sought-after varietal in Brazil, prized for its sweetness and complexity, but challenging to grow.

The tall trees are low yielding and particularly susceptible to pests, demanding careful attention throughout the season. This exceptional lot was selected from just 50 special micro-lots produced by Pedro this year, alongside the Santo Antonio coffee that forms the backbone of our much-loved Shadow Boxer blend. It’s a standout expression of varietal character and meticulous farm selection.

Pedro Teixeira, son of João Newton, represents the fifth generation of his family’s coffee-growing legacy. One of our longest-serving partners, Pedro is deeply committed to quality and sustainability, values reflected in every harvest. In 2019, his farm was named Brazil’s Most Sustainable Farm by Globo Rural magazine, and in 2021 achieved carbon positive status. Beyond coffee, Pedro and his family run Wings, a bird rehabilitation shelter that continues to expand, reinforcing their progressive, community-minded approach to farming.
