Origin
In southeastern Brazil is the state of Minas Gerais. Here lies one of the most famous and most traditional coffee growing regions: Sul de Minas. 30% of Brazilian coffee grows here, as the mild climate with an average temperature of 23°C is perfect for sun-ripened, aromatic Arabica. Since most Brazilian coffee is exported from the port of Santos, the term Santos is often used as a proxy for Brazilian coffee with its typical sweet flavor profile of chocolate and nuts. However, it says nothing about the quality of the coffee.
From the village of Boa Esperanca in Sul de Minas comes this naturally processed Catuaí, Mundo Novo and Topázio. It is produced by the cooperative Dos Costas. Dos Costas is a cooperative of several coffee growing families. It was founded in 1989 so that small family farms could continue to secure their livelihoods by growing and selling coffee in the face of the increasing dominance of large farms.
Dos Costat's mission: to work for the well-being of the cooperative's members and their families while ensuring the highest quality coffee and a particularly sustainable, organic cultivation of the land.
In 2008, the cooperative FLO received Fairtrade certification after a three-year process. In addition to fair working conditions, the focus is also on environmental protection and the land is cultivated organically and sustainably - unfortunately still a rarity in this region.
For a continuously high coffee quality, many of the members of Dos Costas participate in annual quality trainings and work with agronomists throughout the year.
We are convinced by Dos Costa's philosophy and the result: a balanced coffee with notes of milk chocolate, hazelnut and spices.
