Fazenda Pinhal is a 914-hectare farm situated close to San Antonio De Ampoaro in Sul De Minas. The Gabarra Teixeria Family has owned the farm since 1994. Only one-third of the farm is planted; the rest is a natural reserve, eucalyptus forest, and cow pasture land.

In 2019 Fazenda Pinhal won the award for Brazil's most sustainable coffee farm. They have also started a bird sanctuary to help rehabilitate and care for injured birds and have coordinated research programs with the local universities.

    Brazil

     This coffee is sourced from the The Fazenda Pinhal Farm in the Sul de Minas Gerais region of Brazil, 

    Rich, Sweet, & Nutty

    Our Brazil Dark Roast is roasted with more intensity to develop a richer and more caramalized flavour profile, with notes of chocolate, toffee, and walnut, this one is for the more traditional coffee drinker.

    Natural

    The natural process requires skill and attention to get right. The ripe coffee cherry is picked and left out to ferment in the sun,  turned regularly so that no mould grows. The enzymatic reactions that occur here sink right into the seed (or bean), and leave you with a coffee that's full of funkiness and complexity. 

    The process historically was common in places with less water available, but you'll see it all over the world these days, in producer's quests to find wild results in their lots.

    High Intensity
