MAGPIE | BRAZIL

The coffee has been imported from our friends at Cargo who specialise in high quality Brazilian lots. This is a regional blend from small scale producers in Santana de Caldas. Each family here has a yield of up to 200 bags, meaning that each farm is too small to produce a larger lot like this on its own. Geography plays a significant role in the quality of this coffee. In the far southwest of Minas Gerais, on the border with São Paulo state, the hot spring town of Poços de Caldas sits inside a caldera (sinkhole). The region of Santana de Caldas lies to the east of this, on top of the crater formed by the sinkhole. The unique geological formations and fertile volcanic soil contribute to the exceptional quality of the coffee. The average altitude of the micro-region is 1200m, making it ideal for the production of high-scoring specialty coffee.
