Amazing coffee doesn’t just simply happen. It takes a modern approach. It’s the endless pursuit of becoming something better in order to make a lasting impact to elevate those around us.
We are a passionate family of coffee growers from Minas Gerais dedicated to the production of extremely high quality Brazilian specialty coffees, all in the purest expression and carefully picked with love.
After years of experimentation with conventional processing methods, we have pioneered alternative and innovative processing methods that are not only sustainably viable for the environment, but are ushering in a new era for coffee that is produced throughout Brazil.
Our farms elevations range 1000 - 1280 meters above sea level and are located in the only city in the entire country where the Atlantic Forest converges precisely with the Cerrado Mineiro. Combining both biomes presents an ideal combination of precipitation and acidity from de Cerrado Mineiro soil. Regional micro-climates are also an ideal circumstance that allow our coffee to consistently showcase its uniqueness and versatility as a result of the regional micro-climates.
The coffees produced on our farm are Rainforest Alliance Certified, UTZ Certified, guaranteeing sustainable practices and social and economic benefits to the region of Cerrado Mineiro.
To us, relationships mean everything. We strongly believe in establishing a direct relationship and connection with our roasters. Our vertically integrated model provides the luxury to allow full transparency from seed to cup. Our Coffees handles all phases of the green coffee supply chain, including producing our very own exclusive micro-lots, milling, green coffee storage, and export logistics and importation into America or Europe through our own internal importation company located in California and Hamburg. All of our partners are always welcome to come stay with us on the farm and witness our operations firsthand.
We strive to be at the forefront of engineering unique and complex flavor profiles for coffee lovers through technology and innovative processing methods.
With the help of our infrared bean analyzers and years of experimenting endlessly and refining our approach to our processing methods, the sacrifice is now standing out on the cupping table. New world fermentation techniques, paired with alternative eco washed processing methods are revolutionizing the flavor paradigm of Cerrado Mineiro.
PARA ELA PROJECT
We are excited to announce our exclusive special limited reserve “Para Ela” micro-lots, that are 100% women selected. These coffees are very near and dear to our hearts because they were carefully selected and sorted with love by the women of Our Coffees.
“Para Ela”, which translates "For Her" is our representation to the world of what we can achieve through the power of coffee. During the 4 month hand selection and sorting season, to financially empower the women of Campos Altos and shine a light on the financial disparity occurring in the country, we decided to take action and dedicate the entire hand selection and micro lot production to be harvested only by women. During the hand selection season, our pickers earned 35% higher wages than the regional average, and employee household incomes increased by 85% during the picking season as a direct result of the Para Elas production. The ripest and most pristine cherries were carefully hand selected and sorted with love exclusively and only by the women of Campos Altos.
