Mundo Novo in Mogiana
Mogiana is known for old red-soil coffee country on the são paulo–minas border with deep sweetness, and Mundo Novo is one of the varieties behind that reputation. The region's farms sit at 900–1,300 m — Mundo Novo's preferred range is 800–1,300 m — and harvest runs may – september, the window in which the variety's character is decided in the field.
Mundo Novo brings its own agronomic personality to Mogiana: a tall, vigorous, high biomass plant with high yield potential, and disease behavior best summarized as susceptible to rust; good general vigor and drought tolerance. Regional processing leans on natural, pulped natural, which shapes how the variety's raw material reaches the cup.
Tasted side by side with the same variety from other regions, Mogiana's expression stands apart: the variety contributes chocolate, hazelnut, and molasses sweetness, while the regional cup runs toward dense chocolate and dried fruit sweetness, low bright acidity, plush body — a step richer than the brazilian average. That interaction — genetics times place — is exactly what regional sourcing is about.
