Cupping Notes: Heavy Body, Dutch Cocoa, Soft Acidity, Very Balanced, Cocoa Finish.
The Story Behind Cerrado Mineiro Fine Cup
The Cerrado Mineiro region, located in the northwest of Minas Gerais state in central Brazil, holds the distinction of being the country's first "Designation of Origin." Coffees bearing this designation are certified as "Origin and Quality Guaranteed" by the Cerrado Mineiro Region – D.O. Regulatory Board, with each bag featuring a QR code that links directly to the specific farm and farmer who produced it. This provides an added layer of traceability—something often difficult to achieve in Brazil's vast coffee-growing regions.
As the world's largest coffee producer, Brazil's approach to cultivation is distinct. Farms here tend to sit at flatter elevations with less shade cover and more manicured fields, relying on mechanical harvesters to produce significantly more coffee per hectare than other origins. In Cerrado Mineiro, coffee grows between 800 and 1,300 meters above sea level, where sharply defined rainy and dry seasons shape the region's distinctive cup profile.
