We have worked on a lot of projects in Brazil during the past few years. Our contacts and knowledge of the country has enabled us to start import of small rare lots of specialty coffees from this great coffee producing nation.

We source our coffees ourselves by visiting numerous farmers in various regions, cupping our way through several individual lots of coffee. This way we seek out the best of each season and we find the farmers with the biggest quality potential and the right mindset to work with us. We believe in establishing relationships with these farmers in order to ensure the best quality for us and the best possible conditions for them. We pay these farmers prices that are many times higher than market prices and ensure the payment by purchasing the coffees directly from the farmers. It is a partnership towards product development and environmental sustainability enabled by economic sustainability tied in a concept of social responsibility and awareness with respect to nature and the people cultivating it that way.

We buy small limited lots of unique qualities with rare expressions of specificity. Brazil has the potential and ressources to produce various styles of specialty coffee; each with a very destinct tasteprofile and flavor character of its own, not always typical of its origin. Each lot is fully traceable. We share the full history of each coffee because we believe that is key to fully understand its potential and realize it. We trade these coffees to quality-minded roasteries whom understand and appreciate the values inherent in these coffees; the values carried out through awareness by the many hands on the coffee throughout the supply chain. We work with the highest possible level of transparancy because we believe this adds further to the value and understanding of the coffees thus enabling true appreciation of these outstanding coffees.
