Microlot

Brazilian microlots are a relatively new entry into the world of specialty coffee, compared to larger-scale farming operations that are common here. Our microlots are typically either a small selection of specialized coffee kept separate from the total volume of coffee a single estate produces, or they are sourced from the many smallholder producers (10–30 hectares) that exist throughout our usual sourcing regions. Microlots are expected to have both the highest level of quality and, subsequently, the highest tier of pricing.

Fazenda Sao Carlos

Fazenda São Carlos, located in the Poços de Caldas region of Brazil, has a rich history rooted in coffee cultivation. Established in the early 20th century, the farm has been dedicated to producing high-quality coffee for generations. Its location on the periphery of an ancient volcanic caldera provides fertile soil and unique microclimatic conditions ideal for coffee cultivation. The farm sits between 970-1250 masl.

Over the years, Fazenda São Carlos has embraced sustainable farming practices, focusing on environmental preservation and social responsibility. As a member of the Sancoffee cooperative, the farm collaborates with other producers to enhance coffee quality and promote sustainable agriculture in the region.

The farm's commitment to quality and sustainability reflects the dedication of its owners and workers, who strive to preserve the rich heritage of Brazilian coffee cultivation.
