The Andrade family has been dedicated to coffee cultivation for over 120 years, is a founding member of the Brazil Specialty Coffee Association, and regularly wins awards for its excellent coffees.

The climatic conditions of the region – where an optimal balance between dry and rainy seasons prevails – as well as the volcanic soil, offer the best conditions for the growth of coffee plants.

After the harvest (May - August), the coffee cherries are processed in the traditional "pulped natural" process. After the pulp is removed, the beans are dried in the sun for about a week. Compared to the "natural" process, this results in a softer acidity and a more pronounced body.

This directly traded Red & Yellow Catuai (Arabica) from the two farms Capim Branco & Sao Silvestre impresses with typical notes of nut and chocolate, a creamy body, and a subtle acidity of exotic fruits. A particularly versatile coffee, it can be prepared as either an espresso or filter coffee.
