About this Specialty Coffee

Since 1988 Fazenda Recanto has produced very high-quality coffees in Serra do Salitre, in the Cerrado Mineiro region in the countryside of Minas Gerais. Along this path, the producers have improved their work and adopted better sustainability practices, respecting people and the environment. The business is managed by the family and all involved in production are extremely passionate about coffee.

The family is currently in its 3rd generation of producers and is run by Rafael Vinhal (35) and Lucas Vinhal (32), together with their parents Afonso Vinhal and Marcelia Vinhal. It is worth pointing out that Mrs. Marcelia is responsible for quality control of the most selected micro-lots. The properties are certified by Rainforest Alliance, 4C, and Certifica Minas, are credentialed by Starbucks and Nespresso, and are proud members of BSCA.

Harnessing their affection for coffee growing and relying on an innovative system of artisan production, the producers make every effort to ensure that their coffees stand out, both on the Brazilian market and abroad. They are very proud of all the awards they have achieved in some of the most important coffee quality competitions in Brazil.

They are certain that their coffee really stands out for its extremely differentiated aromas and flavors. This coffee lot was processed in the wet method, being pulped and then dried on African beds.
