House Blend

Our Brazilian component of the house blend is sourced from Mogiana in the city of Espirito Santo do Pinhal. The farmer, Paulo and his daughter Ana Paula, who is an agriculture engineer, take care of two farms in the region. One is in the state of Sao Paulo and the other in the state of Minas Gerais, in the city of Guape. The family has a long tradition in coffee and it looks like it will keep on for generations under Ana Paula's supervision

The remaining 40% of our house blend is curated using beans from Popayán, which is located in the department of Cauca at 1.700 m.a.s.l. The region's topography is perfect to grow exceptional coffee! The so-called Meseta de Popayan is sheltered by the Andes mountain range which helps generate homogeneous climatic and altitudinal characteristics. The result is a balanced cup profile with floral and caramel notes.
