Every bean of our coffee is sourced directly from Brazil, a country with a long coffee tradition. In the 18th Century, Portuguese settlers built a little chapel on the Ampara River, and put up fences around the area that is now today’s farm. Among the settlers was Manouel Ferreira Carneiro. He built the first house on the farm, which is now one of the largest coffee states in the region. Today, Carneiro’s direct descendant, Joaquím Paiva, is one of two managing directors on the farm. The knowledge of how to produce one of Brazil’s most outstanding coffees has been passed down from generation to generation. Only Arabica varieties such as Catuaí, Mundo Novo, Acayá and Catucaí have been selected and are grown in the plantation nursery according to strict sustainable principles. Several generations have been dedicated to creating excellent coffees for the pleasure of people all over the globe.

We are dedicated to doing right by everyone we work with; from our suppliers, all the way down the line to you, our customers. It is part of our mission to hold ourselves accountable in the coffee supply chain, using our relationships, expansive reach and experience to support and promote a long-lasting future for coffee. This means protecting our planet and the people in it. When we invest in people, we know we’re investing in a healthy future for coffee, and a healthier planet for all of us.
