The story
Behind the bag.
Brazil is the engine of the global coffee market — and within it, Minas Gerais produces the lion's share of specialty-grade lots. The estates contributing to this lot are smaller than the regional average and run by families who have been in coffee for generations.
Naturals from this region carry a grounded sweetness that takes well to medium and darker roasts without losing fruit character.
Sustainability practices
How this coffee is grown.
- Multi-estate sourcing keeps small farms in the specialty channel rather than the commodity market.
Challenges & opportunities
Brazilian coffee is exposed to currency swings and climate volatility — both pressure smallholder margins.
