Madonna Do Ipanema Blended Brazilian Santos and Koji Fermented Ipanema Bourbon

Requiem.Coffee — Madonna House Blend

Brazilian Santos x Koji-Fermented Ipanema Bourbon (3:1)

Our Madonna Roast is where tradition meets quiet rebellion. Built on a foundation of smooth, velvety Brazilian Santos, we fold in a precise measure of our koji-fermented Ipanema Bourbon — a technique borrowed from Japanese cuisine and reimagined for coffee. The result is a cup that feels familiar at first sip, then reveals something deeper, sweeter, and unmistakably ours.

Between Workers and Kings: Here lies the sensible middle, reliable ground.

Santos brings the body:
rich cocoa, toasted nuts, warm caramel.

The Bourbon brings the elevation:
stone fruit brightness, soft strawberry notes, and a fragrant sweetness born from fermentation.

Together they create a profile that is clean, balanced, and effortlessly drinkable — yet still layered enough to reward the curious. In milk, it becomes dessert. As espresso, it sings.

Crafted for people who want their daily cup to feel a little bit special — without shouting for attention.

Tasting Notes

Red berry • Caramel • Citrus zest • Silky finish
A smooth, warming Brazilian cup with gentle fruit brightness, soft caramel sweetness, and a clean, velvety finish. Comforting and familiar at first sip — then lifted by the subtle depth of koji fermentation.

Origin

Brazil — Ipanema & Santos Regions
A curated blend of two exceptional Brazilian beans: a high-quality Santos for structure and body, and an Ipanema-grown Bourbon, elevated through koji fermentation, for sweetness and complexity.

Altitude

800–1,300m
Grown across Brazil’s rolling highlands, where stable temperatures and rich soil create naturally sweet, low-acidity beans with a smooth, rounded profile.

Process

Natural + Koji Fermentation
Santos beans are traditionally natural-processed for their classic chocolate-caramel character. The Ipanema Bourbon undergoes small-batch koji fermentation — introducing delicate berry notes, floral lift, and a refined sweetness uncommon in Brazilian coffees.

Roast

Medium
Roasted to harmonise the two origins: enough development for caramel depth, while preserving the bright fruit and aromatic nuance of the Bourbon component.
