The history of the Brazilian Coffee is as interesting as the coffees itself...

Coffee in Brazil

History

In 1727 Brazil was asked to mediate a land dispute between Dutch and French Guiana.

As legend has it, the handsome and charming Francisco de Melo Palheta was dispatched to settle the dispute. Palheta, however, also had the intent of smuggling out the highly coveted coffee seedlings that Brazil had yet to obtain. Once in Cayenne, Palheta set to work wooing the governor's wife in his bid to obtain the coveted seedlings.

At the farewell banquet celebrating the resolution of the land dispute, the governor's wife presented him with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Palheta's amorous exploits had paid off, for hidden deep in the bouquet was the seedling of a coffee plant; the forefather of Brazilian Coffee.

Coffee Regions

Our coffee selections are constantly changing as we actively pursue innovative coffees in Brazil. Listed here are some of our customer favorites.

Cafe do Malandro: This traditional Brazilian Dark Roast coffee, with its sweet and chocolatey overtones, is perfect for delicious "cafezinho". Serve it strong or the Brazilian in you will not approve!
Fazenda Cachoeira Yellow Bourbon: This Award-Winning Estate Coffee is among Brazil's finest. Since 1890, the Carvalho Dias family has been growing coffee on an ancient volcano near the city of Pocos de Caldas. The bright acidity and complexity of this coffee have made it a critic's favorite.
Sweet Cerrado: This blend brings out the special taste of Cerrado Region Coffees. A dry harvesting season allows Cerrado growers to let their beans mature on the tree, thus giving the beans a stronger than sweeter flavor. With hints of chocolate and jasmine, Sweet Cerrado is refreshing and finishes with a smooth and clean aftertaste.
Fazenda Daterra Peaberry Blend: Daterra means "of the earth" and they truly are committed to sustainability. This Catuai and Mundo Novo Peaberry Blend is a Casa Brasil favorite.
