Sonho Amarelo features yellow bourbon variety beans sourced from Fazenda Rainha Farm in Brazil. Unlike most coffee cherries which are red, these special beans come from yellow cherries. The yellow bourbon variety originates from Bourbon Island, now known as Réunion, located next to Madagascar.
Cenk Erlevent founded this independent specialty coffee roastery in 2021, bringing his creative background from the photography and film industry to the art of coffee roasting. His multicultural experience across six different cultures infuses each roast with what he describes as "a little bit of Turkish Spice, French Love, Spanish Salsa, Italian Espresso and Swiss Perfectionism." Bean in Progress operates on the philosophy of "go for progress, not perfection," acknowledging that while the best coffee doesn't exist, their beans are always evolving through sustainable sourcing from selected farms in Brazil, Costa Rica, and Rwanda, combined with transparent product declarations that create balance between farmers and customers.
