BRAZIL FAZENDA VALE DO CERRADO COFFEE

About the coffee | The Canastra Coffee Region, surrounding the Serra da Canastra National Park in Minas Gerais, boasts coffee plantations on levelled terrains up to 1,200 metres. A blend of Cerrado and Atlantic Forest biomes, the area is home to the source of the São Francisco River. Recently granted a
geographical indication label, it stands as an important coffee-producing region in Brazil.
It is here that Claudeci and his wife Idivane, owners of Fazenda Vale do Cerrado, work together with their three sons on the family farm. Over the past decade, they’ve dedicated efforts to specialty coffee studies, aiming to enhance quality and foster sustainability across their operations.
Vale do Cerrado features flat, fertile terrain at altitudes spanning 860 to 1,200 metres. The 350-hectare cultivation primarily includes Arabica coffee varieties like Catuaí and Catucaí. The harvest at Vale do Cerrado is mechanised, while the Araújo family processes their coffee using the natural method. For drying, certain batches undergo 100% patio drying, while others utilise rotary dryers to
complete the process.
Vale do Cerrado dedicates over 100 hectares to preserved native forests and maintains six safeguarded water springs. Unproductive zones undergo annual reforestation efforts, while the farm employs water recycling from processing and utilises coffee pulp as a natural fertiliser on the plantations. It also holds certifications from Certifica Minas and Rainforest Alliance.

ALL COFFEE IS ROASTED TO ORDER ON TUESDAY, DISPATCH IS WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY.
