The Minas Gerais Region

Nestled in southeastern Brazil, the Minas Gerais region is renowned for its diverse landscapes and fertile soils, making it a hub for exceptional coffee production. The sub-regions of Campos das Vertentes and Matas de Minas are home to Black Producers, a group of smallholding farmers committed to preserving their rich agricultural heritage. The area's ideal elevation and natural environment provide the perfect backdrop for cultivating the Mundo Nuvo varietal, resulting in coffees that are both distinctive and full of character.

The Journey of  Minas Gerais Peaberry Coffee

The Brazil Minas Gerais Peaberry undergoes a meticulous natural process to enhance its inherent qualities. After careful handpicking, the coffee cherries are spread out on patios to dry with the fruit still intact, allowing the beans to absorb the cherries' natural sweetness. The rare peaberries, sorted due to their rounded shape, are known for their uniform roasting and unique flavor development. This thoughtful process ensures every bean delivers the exceptional quality Minas Gerais is celebrated for.

Tasting Profile

Notes of cashew butter, goji berry, and orange zest are complemented by delicate floral hints of freesia and subtle oak undertones. A syrupy-smooth mouthfeel enhances the coffee’s gentle, sweet acidity, while the finish lingers with a harmonious blend of sweet cashew and zesty orange notes.
