ABOUT ME

Alvaro Coli has been crafting some of our favourite coffees from Brazil for years. We first met him back in 2016 and over the years have caught up a few more times since at Cooperativa COCARIVE and at his farm Sítio da Torre just outside Carmo de Minas.  

Alvaro's natural (and pulped natural) processed coffees consistently earn high awards in the Brazil Cup of Excellence, so much so that he's built a trophy room to house them all! 

He's deeply committed to sustainable farming practices, always striving to create a more harmonious relationship with the land and its environment. Located at around 1300 meters above sea level, the Yellow Bourbon varietals at Sítio da Torre are grown amongst the highest elevations in the Mantiqueira da Minas region. 

This microlot is super smooth, enjoyed as espresso or a medium-full bodied pour over. We find notes of vanilla bean, milk chocolate, sugar cane + walnut.

Obrigado amigo!
