We first met Silvio Leite in 2008 and were immediately drawn to his passion, warmth, and deep expertise in coffee tasting and education. As co-founder of the Cup of Excellence program, he has played a pivotal role in shaping the international specialty coffee industry.
For many years, Silvio helped us source high quality coffees from Brazil. Then, six years ago, he realised a long-held dream of establishing his own coffee farm – and we are now able to offer beautiful coffees produced by him! This lot comes from a plot that Silvio named Sakura (“cherry blossom” in Japanese), in honour of his many Japanese connections in the coffee industry – and specifically his friendship with our long-time Brazil coffee buyer, Toshi, whose daughter’s name is Sakura.
We are so excited to share this coffee with you once more – it is always one of our favourite lots from Silvio’s farms and holds a special place in our hearts!
