Delectable berry fruit with bright citrus and a pleasing tropical finish. We paid 223% above the fairtrade price for this coffee, because we are commited to a sustainable future for specialty coffee farmers. More on this. This incredible Topazio lot was fermented in a sealed stainless steel drum for 96 hours. We absolutely love this coffee. Topazio is proving to be an absolute winner-of-a-varietal for this part of Brazil. Pedro Teixeira, the son of João Newton, is of his family’s fifth generation of coffee growers. As one of our longest-serving partners, Pedro maintains a proud focus on both quality and sustainability, priorities that shine with every coffee we receive from him. In 2019, Pedro received the award for Brazil’s Most Sustainable Farm (Globo Rural magazine). Pedro and his operation also received carbon positive status in 2021 after a year-long assessment of farm practices. Maintaining an ever-progressive focus on keeping their approach to farming sustainable, local and sensitive to the environment around them, Pedro and his family have also built a large shelter for hurt or trafficked birds. Called Wings, this special program has been so successful that the team has recently added a second shelter to the mix.
