BRAZIL FAZENDA SERTAO
A rich, nutty coffee with smooth chocolate tones – our Brazilian single origin is a reliable, full-bodied roast for everyday drinking.
PROFILE AND PARTNERSHIP
Our Brazil Single Origin comes from Fazenda Sertão, a long-established farm in Carmo de Minas, Brazil.
This is a sweet, chocolatey and nutty coffee with notes of praline, hazelnut and Snickers. It is smooth and balanced black, but especially good with milk, where its chocolate-bar sweetness really comes through.
We’ve been working with Fazenda Sertão for several years, with Dan visiting the farm in 2022 to meet the team and strengthen our long-term relationship. Since 2023, we have also contributed an additional $0.10 per kg of coffee purchased to support CriaCarmo, a local philanthropic project in Carmo de Minas.

ABOUT FAZENDA SERTAO
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.
