Fazenda Sertao

Fazenda Sertao in the Brazilian state of Carmo de Mina is an 850-hectare farm with 330 hectares planted in coffee trees of several varieties, including Red and Yellow Bourbon, Yellow Catucai, and Yellow Catuai. The farm also grows bananas and corn and is used to raise dairy livestock. This farm has a love story behind it: Among the first generation of coffee growers in this area was Jose Isidro Pereira, a dentist-turned coffee producer who inherited Fazenda Sertao from his mother when she passed away, an incident that ended his dentistry career but put him on a path to coffee farming. In 1949, Jose Isidro met the „love of his life,“ Nazareth, who continues to run the farm her husband left in her care. Nazareth and Jose Isidro’s children Francisco, Luiz Paulo, Clycia, and Sandra are also coffee producers, carrying on the family tradition.
Fazenda Sertao is located 1000m above sea level and has an average annual temperature of 18ºC. Crops are planted on the top of hillsides with slopes of up to 50%. That’s an important measure to avoid frosts, common in the region in winter, affecting the health of the trees and to provide a more uniform ripening as well as protection against fungi infections. All these steps, in the end, result in achieving better final quality.

Our coffee is treated with care

Meticulous Quality

We hope to provide our customers with the best and therefore pay close attention to all factors affecting the quality of our coffee. These include cultivar, growing altitude, climate, soil chemistry, harvesting and processing conditions, drying method, storage conditions, transportation, roasting conditions, grind size, brewing water and brewing recipes.

Highly Curated

Each one of our coffees is carefully selected by our roasting team. Before we buy in bulk, we go through many samples from different specialty coffee estates. Often times we are working with the most renowned coffee producers in the world.

Small Batch Roasting

All our coffee is roasted in our Roastery in Westbahnstraße 13, in Vienna. We roast small batches (10kg max) because we have better control over all the parameters that impact the flavour profile and can therefore better guarantee consistency.

Ethically Sourced

We ensure traceability for all our coffees. Our house Espresso from Nicaragua is directly traded without any middle-men and when we go through a wholesaler, complete transparency is a must. We want to provide our customers with the ability to know where their coffee comes from down to the name of each farmer.
