Kokos 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. Along with 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 mainly in Brazil, with only a small share of about 20% dedicated to Robusta. Fazenda Lagoa lies in the heart of Minas Gerais, nestled among gently rolling hills, 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 comprises 300 hectares of cultivated land and is surrounded by 600 hectares of protected natural forest, home to hundreds of bird species. Ornithologists from around the world come each year to observe the rarest birds! The ecological conditions and traditional cultivation methods, unchanged for over 100 years, are the reason for the
successful coffee production. The high growing elevation for Brazil and the climate, with distinct seasons, produce a harmonious, very mild acidity. The careful harvest and natural processing of Fazenda Lagoa coffee result in an exquisite, subtle chocolate note. Strict and continuous quality control throughout the ripening period and during processing, along with the careful selection of the best lots, yields a small but exceptionally high-quality harvest.
