Lagoinha, Minas Gerais, Brazil

About

The Lagoinha is a 203-hectare farm, but only 120 hectares are dedicated to coffee production. Located in Carmo de Cachoeira in the Três Corações region, at an altitude of 1000-1100 m.a.s.l, the farm grows a variety of traditional coffee cultivars, including Yellow Bourbon, Yellow Catuai, Acaia, and Mundo Novo. While the farm has long produced coffee for the commercial market, it has now shifted its focus exclusively to growing specialty coffee in response to increasing demand and the new generation of coffee farmers. Since 2019, this 120-hectare farm has been managed by Carlos Canellas, Matheus Avelar and Tatiana Chagas. Their shared vision was to transform this beautiful and productive coffee farm into a source of high-quality Brazilian coffees for the world to enjoy. This farm innovates by utilizing Selvatech yeast to control fermentations and produce distinctive flavors, while also prioritizing sustainability through innovative infrastructure, photovoltaic energy, and regenerative agriculture, among other green initiatives. The Natural Yellow Bourbon was carefully selected by the sorting team and then dried on a patio for 72 hours until it reached the ideal moisture content.
