Carmo da Cachoeira, Brazil

Estevan grew up surrounded by coffee farming, as his family has cultivated coffee for generations. Their farm, Da Lagoa in Carmo da Cachoeira in Brazil’s South of Minas region, has been passed down through the family and represents a lasting legacy and strong connection to the land. Today, Estevan and his family continue this tradition while also managing dairy and beef cattle. The family is committed to sustainable farming and producing high-quality coffee while caring for the environment, using practices such as integrated pest management, biological control, organic mineral fertilisers, renewable energy, and the protection of springs and wildlife. Da Lagoa Farm is a testament to the harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, where the love for the land and a commitment to sustainability drive every aspect of their operations. This coffee of theirs is all things sweet, delicious and nutty. With notes of smooth praline and a liquid Snickers chocolate bar, it's really hard to go wrong. Almost Nutella-like when paired with milk, it’s a serious crowd-pleaser. Roasted for espresso brew-methods to bring out all of that decadent, fudgy, nutty goodness.
