Pleasure in producing a

Specialty coffee

Specialty Coffee

Our focus is quality.

We produce special arabica coffees of the varieties Arara, Yellow Catuaí, Red Catuaí, Mundo Novo and Obatã.

Coffees with special sensory profiles are produced in microlots and hand-dried in “raised beds”.

The Farm has a special laboratory for tasting and evaluating the coffees. The laboratory consists of a classification table, a sample roaster and various equipment and accessories for the correct evaluation of the samples.

We have a Q(Quality) Arabica Grader in the family, certified by the Coffee Quality Institute (CQI) and the Brazil Specialty Coffee Association (BSCA).

Roasting

The roasting is carried out under the supervision of Flávio Zerbinatti from Grand Binatto.

Tradition and Quality

The “Fazenda Santo Antônio” coffee has been cultivated for generations, in a sustainable way, in the traditional coffee region of Mococa. We provide a product of excellent quality, for the consumer to enjoy the best coffee.

Microroasting

The “Fazenda Santo Antônio” has its own microroasting plant, where the coffees are carefully roasted and packaged in the form of whole bean, ground and artisanal capsules.

The roasting profile follows specific standards to enhance the quality, aromas, flavors and sweetness of the selected beans. This way we offer the highest quality coffee directly from the Farm to the consumer’s table.
