Coffee Specs

Carmo de Minas lies in the rolling hills of Brazil's Mantiqueira region, about four hours from both Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The area is famous for its naturally occurring springs, drawing tourists from around the country to visit the Parque de Águas and luxury spas of the neighboring city of São Lourenço. Increasingly, the region is also known for its coffee production, owing largely to the vision and successes of both CarmoCoffees and the extended Pereira Family.

With 740 hectares, Fazenda Santa Lúcia is more than double the size of Central Park. Most of the farm is dedicated to bananas, corn, and cattle, but the 100 hectares planted with coffee grow mundo novo, yellow catuaí, acaiá, and yellow bourbon. Elevations on the farm range from 900 to 1,250 meters, quite high for its latitude and ideal for the cultivation of high quality coffee.

I'm always excited for fresh coffees from Carmo de Minas. This handsome farm kicks off our Brazilian offerings for the year with a charming flavor profile that reminds us of peanut butter cups.

    Love the chocolatey flavor.

    This is a slightly darker roast, which smells wonderful in the bag and in the cup. I enjoy this coffee in the mornings when I want something a little more robust but not overwhelming.

    My favorite

    My favorite roast. Light and complex, low acidity. You really do get the tasting note of peanut butter! Perfect.
