Brazil, Fazenda Matão

About This Coffee

Fazenda Matão situated at elevations between 790 and 940 m.a.s.l., the farm’s fertile "green thicket" landscape provides ideal conditions for growing speciality coffee. Since acquiring the estate in the early 2000s, owner Marco Antonio Guardabaxo and manager Marciano de Jesus have modernised the infrastructure while honouring a legacy dating back to the 1960s. Key innovations include a state of the art irrigation system that ensures uniform cherry development while significantly reducing water waste. Sustainability is central to Matão’s identity. The team promotes biodiversity, prevents soil erosion, and utilises bio fuel from neighbouring Fazenda São Domingos. This commitment extends to the community, where 40 seasonal workers receive living wages and secure conditions. This lot isn’t your usual Brazilian coffee. Expect a rich, heavy fermentation that shows flavours of Black Cherry, Cacao and Walnut.
