Since 1988 we have been producing very high-quality coffees in the heart of Minas Gerais state, in Cerrado Mineiro Region – Brazil and throughout this trajectory we have improved our work and adopted the best sustainability practices and respect for people and the environment. We are a family run business and everyone in duty is passionate about coffee. Our properties are certified by Rainforest Alliance, 4C and Certifica Minas and we are also members of BSCA. With great care and relying on an innovative craft production, we do our best to ensure that our coffees stand out both in the domestic and foreign markets and we are very proud of all the awards we have already won in some of the main quality contests in Brazil. We are sure that our product really stands out for its extremely different aromas and flavors. So, with great pride, we invite you to try and testify the quality of our coffee! We are obsessed about innovation on our pos-harvest processing methods, so we are, crop after crop, trying new experiments. We currently have 17 different ways to process our coffees, most of them developed by our own at the farm. Our portfolio includes naturals, fermented, pulped naturals, honeys, washed and also several combinations of 2 or 3 different processes, which gives us a wide range of sensory notes in our coffees, using nothing else but coffee and, in some cases, water.

Innovate Coffee Processing Methods

Our properties – Farms Recanto and Estrela – have 3 different independent certifications, two international and one national: Rainforest Alliance, with headquarters in the USA, 4C (Common Code of the Coffee Community), from Germany and Certifica Minas, ran by the Minas Gerais state. To achieve and maintain these certifications, we need to comply with a series of standards regarding issues such as environmental conservation and sustainable production, good social practices and working conditions, an efficient management and control system for the entire production chain and, of course, full compliance with all current legislation. Thus, we periodically receive audits on farms to validate the fulfillment of more than 100 evaluation criteria. In addition, we are proud members of BSCA – Brazil Specialty Coffee Association – which mission ́s is to “increase recognition of Brazilian specialty coffees both inside Brazil and around the world for their high quality and diversity, offering consumers a unique experience”.
