Brasil Fazenda Lagoa

With over 200 million inhabitants and a total area of approximately 8 million km²
Brazil is the largest country in South America. Alongside soybeans, sugarcane, steel, aluminum, and other goods, coffee is one of the country's most important exports.
Brazil is the world's largest coffee producer, ahead of countries such as Colombia and Indonesia. Arabica beans are grown predominantly in Brazil, with only a small share—about 20%—accounting for Robusta cultivation. Fazenda Lagoa lies in the heart of Minas Gerais, nestled among gently rolling mountains, lakes, and fertile farmland. The great-grandfather of current owner Marcelo Vieira established his first plantation here, at an elevation of 950 to 1,200 meters. The original farmhouse still stands today! Fazenda Lagoa encompasses 300 hectares of farmland and is surrounded by 600 hectares of protected natural forest, home to hundreds of bird species. Ornithologists from around the world visit every year to observe the rarest birds! The ecological conditions and traditional cultivation methods, unchanged for over 100 years, are the reason for the farm's successful coffee production. The high elevation for Brazil and the climate, with distinct seasons, result in a harmonious, very mild acidity. Careful harvesting and natural processing of Fazenda Lagoa coffee bring out an exquisite, delicate chocolate note. Strict, ongoing quality control throughout ripening and processing, together with careful selection of the best lots, results in a small but exceptionally high-quality harvest.
