RANCHO GRANDE
This micro-lot from Rancho Grande showcases the precision and passion of third-generation producers José Carlos Reis and his son, Flávio. Through anaerobic natural processing, it delivers vivid fruit character—think ripe cherry, tart citrus, and a sparkling clarity designed to shine in espresso.
Rancho Grande has been producing coffee since 1933, and under the current generation, the farm remains rooted in quality, sustainability, and ethical practices. Their commitment to regenerative methods and thoughtful experimentation pushes each harvest further, both in flavor and environmental stewardship.
The anaerobic natural process—where whole cherries are fermented in sealed, oxygen-limited tanks before drying—allows for extended fermentation and more controlled microbial activity. The result is a complex, layered cup with a syrupy texture and vibrant acidity—ideal for nuanced espresso extractions.
At BIGFACE, we’re proud to offer this limited seasonal release. It’s a standout expression of innovation and tradition—here for a short time, but leaving a lasting impression.
