Here's how we brewed this exclusive coffee from the family farm of World Barista Champ, Boram Um. This Brazil natural was roasted in Calgary, Canada by Rosso Coffee.
In 2023, Boram Um became the first World Barista Champion to win using a coffee produced on their family farm. After his father, the son of South Korean immigrants, purchased an abandoned coffee farm in Brazil, Borum entered the industry and is now at the forefront of elevating Brazilian coffee to the world. This round and balanced natural process was sorted both before and after roasting to ensure impeccable quality control. We tasted yellow plum, nougat, dark berries, and hazelnut.

Brew Recipe for Rosso Fazenda Um Paraiso MG2
Using Stagg X Dripper
Ingredients:
22.5g of Fazenda Um Paraiso MG2
350g of water
205°F
Steps
1. Measure and grind coffee at a medium setting
Measure out 22.5g of coffee beans and grind them on a medium setting. We used setting 5.1 on Ode with SSP Burr / 4.1 on Ode with Gen 2 Burrs, which is about 3.1 on Ode with Gen 1 Burrs. Suggested setting on Opus is between 5.3 and 6 - and note that the inner ring was set to +1 at 5.3 for us!
2. Heat water and rinse the filter
Heat water to 205°F and rinse your filter before putting your coffee grounds in.
3. Pour 50g of water for the bloom
Fully saturate your coffee grounds with 50g of water, and allow 40 seconds for the bloom.
4. Continue pouring in four stages
After the bloom, pour to 150g; when water drains about halfway, swirl 10 times, then when the water is approximately 0.5 in above the bed of grounds, pour to 250g; once water drains halfway, pour to 350g, and agitate with 10 swirls. The total brew time varies, but we’re aiming for between 2:45 - 3:30 minutes.
5. Decant into your favorite mug and enjoy!
Look out for the incredible flavors of yellow plum, nougat, dark berries, and hazelnut.
