The Volcanic Region
The caldera of an extinct volcano that erupted 80 million years ago served to define an area of volcanic soil between southern Minas Gerais and northeastern São Paulo, which, due to its climate and relief characteristics, delimits a unique “terroir” where our coffees are produced.
Our territory, demarcated and protected, covers 12 municipalities located in the mountains that separate these two important Brazilian coffee-producing states.
The Farm began in the mid-19th century by a couple of immigrants from Italy. It is located in the volcanic region of Minas Gerais – Brazil. Situated in an area with altitudes ranging from 1050 to 1200 meters over the sea, the property is blessed with fertile soil and the peculiar climate of the region, providing ideal conditions for cultivating high-quality coffee.
High altitude
The privileged altitude of the farm, combined with the specific climatic conditions of the volcanic region, gives the beans unique characteristics. Such as a full-bodied coffee, with balanced acidity and distinct notes that reflect the richness of the volcanic terroir.

Production
Our Producer is capable to produce in average 3000 coffee bags (60kg), equivalent to 180 tons of coffee beans per harvest.
Processing Methods
Due to a washing station, the farm capability to provide 3 processing methods of coffee:
Expanding Horizons
As mentioned earlier, The Farm has become a reference in the region, being a pioneer and directly and indirectly assisting producers around it. For this reason, it has become the bridge between these producers and coffee roasters from around the world, having the ability to offer even more options and quantities of specialty coffees ranging from 80 to 92 on the SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) scale.
With this partnership, the range of coffee varieties and flavors has expanded even further, offering coffees to suit all palates and sensory notes, such as fruity, floral, caramelized, chocolatey, nutty, citrusy, among other characteristics.
We also have the possibility to offer coffees with lower scores ranging from 70 to 80 on the SCA scale, characterized as premium.

In the subsequent pages, you’ll find the coffees available from the 2023 harvest. All sensory notes, flavors, and scores have been meticulously assessed by an internationally recognized team of Q-Graders. Remarkably, 90% of the 2023 harvest coffees achieved scores falling within the Specialty Coffee range as defined by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), scoring 80 points or higher.
