Great Taste Award Winner 2020 & 2021 - carefully selected speciality coffee from a single farm in Brazil, who we have worked very closely with for a number of years. Hand-roasted and date stamped to order, it’s one of our most popular coffees. This 'Fazenda' (farm) is owned and run by the Oliveira family in the Alta Mogiana region, Brazil. They focus on producing specialty and high end coffees from this region with acute attention to all areas of production, including the environmental and social aspects of their business. The farm is relatively small with 20% constituting of a protected nature reserve for the native species. The farm is fertilised with organic compounds as the main source of amino acids, to increase the productivity and quality of crops. On the farm they specialise in one variety of coffee - Catucai. As well as planting eucalyptus and mahogany trees to provide shade and a useful source of timber. The sweetness of the coffee is a result of the coffee varietal Catuai and the natural process. The sugar in the coffee cherry is passed on to the bean as the coffee cherries are dried together, removing the husks just after the coffee reaches a perfect humidity of 11.5 %
