Coffee Background
As the world’s largest coffee producer, Brazilian lots often come from larger estates that use highly mechanized processing strategies to manage larger volumes. The Mogiana region, split between the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais, is the most renowned of three major Brazilian growing regions. This region has rolling hills and uneven terrain lending to farms that are small to medium in size. This particular lot comes from a farms that average 60 acres in size. Our current offering is Fine Cup (FC), the highest cup category in the Brazilian coffee grading.
Gatiania is a village in the Planadas municipality in the department of Tolima. Planadas has a story that contributed to the charm of their people and of the department itself. It was a region in which political prisoners were sheltered from the Liberal party. Over time both parties, Liberals and Conservators, established a good relationship consequently leading to the famous kindness of people from Planadas to be well-known throughout the country. This coffee is produced by the indigenous community, Nasa Wesx of Gaitania. The Nasa Wesx live in different indigenous territories in Cauca, Huila and Tolima.
