Brazil Fazenda Da Lagoa
Fazenda Da Lagoa dates back to the late 18th century. Today, this large quality
coffee farm spans 7000 acres, about 3700 acres of which is used for planting
coffee, the balance comprising a natural reserve that is a haven for myriad
flora and fauna, as well as woodlands and pastures. The property is irrigated by
40 natural streams that cover the land and converge to form two rivers. Sustainability
is a focus of the farm's ownership.
The coffee is natural, unwashed arabica of the varietals Catuai, Mundo Novo,
Acaya and Catucai. Drying and hulling take place at the farm's own mill. Final
preparation and bagging is carried out at the sister farm. The result is "NY
grade 2/3, strictly soft fine cup", the top import grade; bean size is large
17/18 screen. Coffees from this farm are certified by Utz Kapeh and thus offer
full traceability for farm practices.
