BRAZIL FAZENDA SERTAO

With notes of praline, hazelnut, and Snickers, our Brazil is a headline act: Sweet, chocolatey and nutty... when combined with milk it tastes just like our favourite chocolate bar! A more complex cup than our Americas House Espresso, this well-balanced roast is enjoyed in cafés and homes alike. 

We have been working with Fazenda Sertão for several years, with Dan visiting the farm in August 2022 to meet the team and cement our long-term relationship with this wonderful producer in the town of Carmo de Minas. Since 2023 we contribute an additional $0.10 per kg of coffee purchased to support local philanthropic project CriaCarmo.

We think all of our coffees taste great no matter how you prepare them. Check out our Brew Guides for suggested recipes, top tips, and more.

Fazenda Sertão is an 850-hectare farm with 330 hectares planted in coffee of several varieties, including Red and Yellow Bourbon, Yellow Catucai, and Yellow Catuai. The farm also grows bananas and corn and is used to raise dairy livestock. This farm has a lovely story behind it: Among the first generation of coffee growers in this area was Jose Isidro Pereira, a dentist-turned–coffee producer who inherited Fazenda Sertão from his mother when she passed away—an incident that ended his dentistry career but put him on a path to coffee farming. In 1949, Jose Isidro met the "love of his life," Nazareth, who continues to run the farm her husband left in her care. Nazareth and Jose Isidro's children—Francisco, Luiz Paulo, Clycia, and Sandra—are also coffee producers, carrying on the family tradition.
