Limeira – Brazil
A natural coffee with classic comfort. From Alta Mogiana – where traditional terroir and agricultural innovation collide – this region is characterized by higher altitudes compared to its surroundings, a cooler climate and fertile, volcanic soil.
We opted for a darker roast to express its full-bodied and velvety qualities, but the underlying acidity should not be dismissed. Limeira is a cup you’ll keep coming back to.

The Land
Alta Mogiana, Brazil
The Alta Mogiana region is situated in the northeastern part of the state of São Paulo, near the border with Minas Gerais. This area is characterized by higher altitudes compared to the surrounding regions, which contributes to its unique climate and fertile soil, making it ideal for coffee cultivation.
The combination of its elevated terrain, favourable climate, rich soil, and a long-standing tradition of coffee cultivation has contributed to the region's reputation as a premier coffee-growing area in Brazil and worldwide.
Most producers grow several hundred trees on less than a hectare of land. The typical processing method in Burundi is similar to Kenya, with a “dry fermentation” of roughly 12 hours after de-pulping, followed by a soak of 12–14 hours in mountain water.
