A little about this coffee

This coffee is produced by a family-run farm founded around 1950. The founder of Fazenda Legião, José Dutra Sobrinho (known as “Zeca” Dutra), father of Edison and Walter, began growing coffee in the state of Minas Gerais. “Zeca” Dutra quickly recognized the great quality potential of his harvest, even though it was small. Over time, his great passion for coffee brought him success, allowing him to expand and improve the farm.

When “Zeca” passed away, he left more than 300 hectares of coffee cultivation to his wife, Osvaldina, and his children. Today, his children have been working in the sector for more than 35 years. By investing heavily in their knowledge, they have greatly improved their farming practices. They now produce authentic, high-quality specialty and organic coffees recognized nationally and internationally.

Fazenda Legião is located in a mountainous area characterized by hills and elevations of varying origins. The coffee plantations extend across the mountain slopes, benefiting from elevations between 800 and 1,200 meters. The region has fertile soils rich in red clay and minerals, and a temperate subtropical climate that alternates between periods of high humidity and regular periods of welcome dryness throughout the year. This combination of altitude, climate, and soil composition gives coffees grown in the Matas de Minas region unique characteristics.
