Nossa Familia Coffee

Nossa Familia Coffee is a Portland, Oregon roaster. Brazilian native Augusto Carneiro started the company in 2004. It roasts coffee from his family's farms in Brazil and from other origins, including Guatemala, Nicaragua, Peru and Ethiopia. The company calls its model farm-direct and says relationships with farmers come first.

The roaster says it buys through direct-trade and family-trade relationships and works with responsible importers. Its Brazilian family farms remain central to that model. Nossa Familia roasts on Loring machines and says its roasting team is trained and certified. It is a Certified B Corp. The available coffees cover light, medium and dark roast levels, with Brazil, Nicaragua, Guatemala and Kenya among the origins. You can find washed, natural and anaerobic lots, plus blends and single-origin choices. Examples include Delícia do Brasil and Nicaragua Finca San Jose de las Nubes.
