The coffee story
*This coffee is not available for purchase in Germany
Our history goes back to 1901 when our family started growing coffee at Capim Branco Farm, near the town of Carmo do Paranaíba in the Cerrado Mineiro region. It is one of the oldest coffee farms in the region! However the brothers Ismael and Eduardo Andrade, who are the face of the company today, only got involved with coffee in the 1970s. At the time, they were living and working in Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais. They didn't work with coffee really. But it was something that was in their blood, so the decision to take over the family business was a simple one. And when they got involved they got really involved!

Ismael was one of the member founders of the Brazilian Specialty Coffee Association (BSCA). He was always a big defender of the natural processing method. People didn't use to think naturals were specialty and Ismael disregarded that as nonsense. He was right. The BSCA has been exporting to the world the value of the Brazilian specialty movement since 1991.
