Brazil - Fazenda De Moinho

Fazenda de Moinho sits in the amazing Mantiqueira mountains of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Owned and farmed by Thalita Martins; she inherited the small holding from her uncle, Robson Vilela Martins. The family have been involved in coffee for many generations, owning four farms in the area, they’re loved and respected in the local coffee community. The Fazenda is typical of this part of Brazil, where we find small estates in the high altitudes and rolling hills that are full of native shade trees, toucans and the prized Yellow Bourbon ! The name Mantiqueira comes from the indigenous Tupi-Guarani word ‘Amantikir’, best translated as “the mountains that cry”, a reference to the abundance of natural springs that flow through the region. Sourced with the help of our partners in Brazil, Cocarive. Once picked the coffee is profiled under the guidance of ex-Brazilian cupping Champion Wellington Pereira before being prepared for export to our roastery.
