Brazil’s Cerrado is the world’s most biodiverse tropical savanna, a vast central landscape vital to South America’s water systems and home to remarkable wildlife such as jaguars and giant anteaters. Here, the land stretches wide and open, shaping a way of life guided by sun, soil, and seasonal rhythm. Cerrado coffee reflects that balance, steady, grounded, and dependable. Its character unfolds calmly, offering warmth and familiarity rather than spectacle. This is coffee meant to be shared daily, a quiet anchor in the flow of everyday life.
Sourced from the Cerrado Mineiro region of Brazil, a world-renowned coffee-producing area in northwest Minas Gerais, these beans represent the gold standard of Brazilian consistency and sweetness. The Cerrado is defined by wide open plateaus, red clay soils, and a rare, clearly defined dry season, conditions that allow farmers to harvest coffee with remarkable precision and care.
Carefully graded to New York Grade 2 with large 17/18 screen beans, this lot is meticulously prepared for clarity and roast consistency. In the cup, expect smooth milk chocolate, toasted hazelnut, and caramelized sweetness, supported by a rounded body and low, approachable acidity.
This coffee shines as a foundation roast, reliable, comforting, and deeply satisfying. In Brazil, it is shared daily and without ceremony.

It does not demand attention, but rewards it, offering comfort, balance, and familiarity.
