The Cerrado Mineiro is the most qualitative producing region in the state of Minas Gerais, so much so is had a PDO for coffee . This very large and flat area allows for a large-scale mechanised production, offering the world a large volume of high quality Arabica. This terroir is most known for produces sweet round cups with low acidity and chocolate and hazelnut notes.
The vocation of our "Capivara" is to bring you a satisfying cup quality, above the market average, solid and regular.
This supply chain doesn’t have the aim to change or improve the industry, but rather, this coffee is here to provide you with a good coffee fairly priced, and with no fuss.
This Cerrado Mineiro ensures a score above 80 points and provides the tranquility of a constant quality and a larger availability.
Purchased directly from Expocaccer, a regional cooperative recognized for the quality of its work and with whom we have established a relationship over several years; this coffee gathers the following specifications:
- Cerrado mineiro Denomination of Origin
- 15+ screen beans and NY2/3 defects
- A Strictly Soft Fine Cup. And this is where our QC work comes to action. Every and each lot is controlled by our quality lab and cupped by Qgraders to ensure you get the consistent profile you expect. Over the last few years, all CAPIVARA lots have received a score between 81.5 and 83 points and the number of defects is systematically checked.
Expocaccer works with more than 1000 producers in the Cerrado Mineiro region, in the west of the state of Minas Gerais. The cooperative exports over 1 million bags per year.
The supply chain of this coffee, because it must remain affordable, does not allow us to push its traceability beyond its designation of origin.
To do so, and for the same price, we would be forced to buy coffee from very large, conventional mechanised farms, which, according to our philosophy, does not contribute to making our purchase a more sustainable act. Instead, we have chosen to focus our active sourcing efforts on promoting a fairly remunerated small-scale agriculture and supporting projects that reduce our environmental impact. We will always be happy to discuss these projects with you, so don't hesitate to contact our team to find out more!
