We have been loving Stephen Hurst’s coffee for over a decade now and this is a relationship we deeply value. Stephen is a long-time friend of Ozone and the founder of Mercanta, a globally respected green coffee sourcing company. This season we have picked 5 delicious coffees from his farm, this one is the first to be released, a Natural processed Bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA Brew Begun 80 Million Years Ago\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fazenda Inglaterra coffee farm is situated on the borders of the Minas Gerais and São Paulo regions of Brazil, located in the more populous south-east corner of the country. Coffee was introduced to Brazil in the early 18th century, rapidly growing into a thriving industry that is now the leading producer of both commodity and specialty coffee worldwide. Minas Gerais is one of the most famous coffee-producing regions, alongside Espirito Santo, São Paulo, and Bahia. Fazenda Inglaterra is located near to the spa town of Poços de Caldas, the main socio-economic nucleus of its region, roughly 250km north of São Paulo city. The area is known for its volcanic soil and high elevation, reaching between 950 and 1,300 metres above sea level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe local area ranges over a high plateau formed by mountains, commonly mistaken as the crater of an extinct supervolcano. In reality, Poços de Caldas sits inside a caldera formed by the collapse of an 80 million year old intrusion amid the surrounding elevated areas, not a volcano itself. Its climate is characterized by dry winters and mild summers. This unique terroir contributes to the coffee’s distinct flavour profile: clean, sweet, and full of character. Stephen has made a strong commitment to producing environmentally friendly coffee within the Fazenda Inglaterra estate: half of the farm remains untouched Mata Atlântica rainforest, which supports biodiversity and protects the local ecosystem. In Stephen’s words, “As long as I own it, it will stay that way”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStephen’s Dream Realised\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStephen is a pioneer in the specialty coffee industry. In 1996, he founded Mercanta, a specialty green coffee importer that now operates in over 50 countries. Mercanta is known for its commitment to traceability, quality, and ethical sourcing. Throughout his years sourcing green coffee and travelling to visit producers, Stephen had always had the idea of one day owning his own farm in the back of his mind. When some friends in Brazil mentioned that a small coffee farm was for sale, he had a look and knew this was the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe farm’s name was originally Fazenda Toca Da Onca, meaning “hiding place of a small wildcat”, but the neighbours renamed it with the Portuguese for “England” after Stephen took over. A nod to his British heritage and his personal connection to the estate. The previous owners had left the farm abandoned for some time so Stephen, with the help of his friends Gabriel and Cristiano, had to start again almost from scratch. They brought the small farm (tiny by Brazilian standards!) back to life - reviving old trees, planting new ones, and building a farm rooted in both regeneration and quality. Stephen’s hands-on approach and long-term vision have shaped Inglaterra into a model of sustainable coffee farming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA Classic Brazilian Varietal\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular lot is Bourbon, but the farm also grows Icatu, Acaia, Catuai, and Canario. Bourbon is a significant historic Arabica coffee varietal that has been cultivated in Brazil for generations, valued for its resilience and adaptability to the country’s diverse growing regions. While it typically yields less than some modern hybrids, Bourbon is appreciated by producers for its consistency and the role it plays in maintaining genetic diversity and heritage in Brazilian coffee cultivation.

That extra development is intentional: it draws out the rich, nut‑driven sweetness and builds a rounded, comforting body without tipping into heavy or smoky roast character.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis approach really suits classic natural‑processed Brazilian coffee. The longer development amplifies notes of walnut, toasted hazelnut, toffee and milk chocolate, smoothing the acidity and giving the cup a soft, balanced structure. The result is a coffee that feels sweet, full and reassuringly familiar - perfect if you enjoy nutty, chocolate‑led cups with depth and warmth rather than sharp brightness. It’s an easy‑drinking profile that rewards repeat brews and works beautifully across espresso and filter.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCupping Scores\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCupping Notes: Walnut, toffee, milk chocolate.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCup of Excellence Cupping Scores \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean Cup: 6\/8 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweetness: 6.5\/8 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcidity: 6\/8 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthfeel: 6.5\/8 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlavour: 6.5\/8 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAftertaste: 6\/8 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalance: 6.5\/8 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall: 6.5\/8 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrection: +36 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal: 86.5\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you'd like to find out more about how we score coffees, make sure to read our blog post \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ozonecoffee.mom\/blogs\/journal\/what-do-coffee-cupping-scores-actually-mean\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\"What Do Coffee Cupping Scores Actually Mean?\"\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brazil","offers":[{"title":"Beans \/ 220g","offer_id":55574720741761,"sku":"D23 220B","price":11.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beans \/ 500g","offer_id":55574720774529,"sku":"D23 500B","price":24.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beans \/ 1kg","offer_id":55574720807297,"sku":"D23 1B","price":42.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground for Espresso \/ 220g","offer_id":55574720840065,"sku":"D23 220E","price":11.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground for Espresso \/ 500g","offer_id":55574720872833,"sku":"D23 500E","price":24.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground for Espresso \/ 1kg","offer_id":55574720905601,"sku":"D23 1E","price":42.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground for Fine Filter \/ 220g","offer_id":55574720938369,"sku":"D23 220FF","price":11.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground for Fine Filter \/ 500g","offer_id":55574720971137,"sku":"D23 500FF","price":24.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground for Fine Filter \/ 1kg","offer_id":55574721003905,"sku":"D23 1FF","price":42.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground for Medium Filter \/ 220g","offer_id":55574721036673,"sku":"D23 220MF","price":11.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground for Medium Filter \/ 500g","offer_id":55574721069441,"sku":"D23 500MF","price":24.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground for Medium Filter \/ 1kg","offer_id":55574721102209,"sku":"D23 1MF","price":42.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground for Coarse Filter \/ 220g","offer_id":55574721134977,"sku":"D23 220CF","price":11.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground for Coarse Filter \/ 500g","offer_id":55574721167745,"sku":"D23 500CF","price":24.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground for Coarse Filter \/ 1kg","offer_id":55574721200513,"sku":"D23 1CF","price":42.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground for French Press \/ 220g","offer_id":55574721233281,"sku":"D23 220P","price":11.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground for French Press \/ 500g","offer_id":55574721266049,"sku":"D23 500P","price":24.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground for French Press \/ 1kg","offer_id":55574721298817,"sku":"D23 1P","price":42.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Unroasted \/ 220g","offer_id":55574721331585,"sku":"D23 220GB","price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Unroasted \/ 1kg","offer_id":55574721364353,"sku":"D23 1GB","price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/1572\/files\/Ozone_Coffee_Square_2026_BRA_Inglaterra_N_Bourbon.png?v=1777375223","url":"https:\/\/ozonecoffee.mom\/products\/brazil-fazenda-inglaterra-bourbon-natural","provider":"Ozone Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
