Varietal | Pink Bourbon

Um Coffee Co was founded in 2015 in São Paulo by siblings Boram and Garam Um, whose family's connection to Brazilian coffee stretches back decades through their father Stefano, a South Korean immigrant who arrived in Brazil in 1976. Boram Um became the 2023 World Barista Champion after winning three Brazilian Barista Championship titles, while Garam took the 2023 Brazilian Brewers Cup title and placed third at the World Brewers Cup that same year. The company is vertically integrated, growing coffee on its own farms in Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo, where more than 40 arabica varietals are cultivated using natural and anaerobic fermentation methods. Roasting capacity reaches several tons per month, with around 80 percent of production meeting specialty grade standards. Um Coffee Co also runs a training academy founded in 2017 that offers a full range of SCA certified courses, making education a core pillar alongside farming, roasting, and brewing.
