The Story Behind Cerrado Mineiro Rosa 16+

Brazil Rosa LIFT 48 Hour Fermentation Green Coffee Beans from Mercon Specialty

The Ipê is celebrated across Brazil for its striking beauty and vibrant floral displays, found in every region of the country. During its blooming cycle, the tree sheds all of its leaves, giving way to an explosion of color.

Thriving in full sun, Ipê trees grow tall and are known for their distinctive, trumpet shaped flowers that appear in a wide range of colors including yellow, purple, pink, white, and green. From June through November, their blossoms fall and blanket the ground in vivid, creating one of Brazil’s most iconic natural spectacles. Their dramatic flowering, especially during the dry season, has made them a favorite in landscapes throughout the country.
