Lot: Chocolate do Brazil Country of Origin: Brazil Region: Triângulo Mineiro Producer: Fazenda Pereira Variety: Mixed Varieties Processing Method: Natural The coffee is harvested mechanically using combine harvesters. After harvesting, the cherries are sorted and dried on patios. We roast this lot exclusively for espresso. The cup is rich and full-bodied, with a velvety chocolate texture and pronounced natural sweetness. Its delicate acidity enhances the overall balance without dominating the profile. Fruity notes of dates, raisins, and dried figs complement a long chocolate finish with hints of caramel and roasted nuts. The result is a rich, comforting espresso that's perfect for everyday drinking. With milk, the coffee retains its distinctive character while becoming even sweeter and creamier. Fazenda Cruzeiro was founded by Enevaldo Marinho Pereira in 1998. Today, it is part of the Pereira Specialty Coffee Group, which comprises three farms covering more than 280 hectares. The group oversees every stage of production, from raising coffee seedlings to processing the finished coffee. The Pereira family combines decades of experience with modern technology and a strong commitment to environmental stewardship. Around 40% of the farms' land has been preserved as native Cerrado forest, while continuous improvements in processing techniques allow the family to produce award-winning coffees recognized at both regional and national levels. Today, the second generation of the Pereira family continues to develop the farm, with a strong focus on quality and innovation in specialty coffee production.
