Casa Brasil

Do what is right and create beauty

Our motto at Casa Brasil is do what is right and create beauty. How? By discovering the incredible coffees of Brazil and bringing them to you at their fullest potential.

Thanks for taking the time to learn a little about us and we hope you enjoy drinking our coffees as much as we love sourcing and roasting them for you.

HOW WE SOURCE 

We drink a lot of coffee We travel to Brazil each harvest to taste hundreds of coffees from throughout Brazil’s coffee growing regions. We are constantly seeking new partners and tasting how the peculiarities of each year affect the harvest. 

We've found some great partners 

After nearly a decade of doing this, we are fortunate to have developed great relationships with some of Brazil’s top growers. 

We detach from the commodity market, pay a consistent price, and pay well 

Traditionally, coffee prices are based on the commodity market. High quality coffees receive a “premium” over the market price while lower quality coffees are sold for a “discount.” However, the commodity price fluctuates greatly, and growers often operate in uncertainty, not knowing if the price they will receive will compensate them for the extra steps they took to produce high quality coffee. Our relationships are not based on the commodity market. Rather, we pay a consistent price for high quality coffee that is well above the C Market and even the Fair Trade price floor.

Transparency and right of first refusal 

Not only do we pay top dollar, but we offer our growing partners complete transparency in exchange for the right of first refusal on their top lots. 

Proper drying and storage 

To maintain quality, our coffees must be properly dried and stored. We work with our growing partners to take every step possible to maintain quality, from climate-controlled warehousing to special packaging during transport. 

We roast to order 

All Casa Brasil coffees are freshly roasted to order. 

We taste every batch 

Every batch that comes out of our roaster is cupped to ensure quality before it goes out the door. 

We chase the perfect roast 

Coffee is a seed that interacts with an ever-changing environment. We are constantly fine tuning our roasts to get the most we can out of every coffee.
