Coffee production is the dominant agricultural activity in Guaxupé, a municipality in the southern part of Minas Gerais, and for good reason. The area's high altitude and unique microclimate are ideal for growing specialty coffee, featuring noticeably cooler temperatures than the surrounding regions, with an average of about 68°F (20°C). Additionally, the distinct wet and dry seasons enhance coffee production. Approximately 30% of Brazil’s Arabica coffee comes from Sul de Minas, and the region has developed a reputation for consistently producing high-quality coffee.

Roasting these beans to a Medium-Dark level impeccably accentuates their bright acidity and intricate flavors, unlocking a remarkable coffee experience. For coffee aficionados passionate about exploring diverse coffee varieties, our Brazilian Coffee beans offer an exceptional journey to flavortown.
