Gourmet Kaffee

With a population of over 200 million 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 primarily in Brazil, with only a small share—around 20%—accounting for Robusta production. Fazenda Lagoa lies in the heart of Minas Gerais, nestled among gently rolling hills, lakes, and fertile farmland. The great-grandfather of its current owner, Marcelo Vieira, established his first plantation here, at an elevation of 950 to 1,200 m. The original farmhouse still stands today! Fazenda Lagoa covers 300 hectares of farmland and is surrounded by 600 hectares of protected natural forest, home to hundreds of bird species. Ornithologists from all over the world visit each year to observe the rarest birds! The ecological conditions and traditional farming methods, unchanged for over 100 years, are the reason for the farm’s successful coffee production. The relatively high growing altitude for Brazil and the climate, with distinct seasons, produce a harmonious, very mild acidity. Careful harvesting and natural processing of Fazenda Lagoa coffee result in an exquisite, delicate chocolate note. Strict, ongoing quality control throughout the ripening and processing stages, along with careful selection of the best lots, yields a small but exceptionally high-quality harvest.
