Brazil Maracana espresso blend coffee

Brazil Maracanâ

We are delighted to introduce a new addition to our regular espresso offerings: Brazil Maracanâ - a real treat for those who appreciate pleasantly rounded natural flavors. Get ready for a rich, bold, and full-bodied cup. The Yellow Catuai beans will captivate you with the aroma of dark chocolate, complemented by the sweetness of juicy orange and roasted nuts.

Farm and Processing

The Maracanâ farm is located near the plantations owned by our coffee producer, Ocafi, in the Sâo José do Rio Pardo, Mococa region, known for producing top-quality specialty coffees. The farm has been part of the Junqueira family for generations, dating back to 1872, and has a long history of female leadership. The current owner, Marina, and her husband Lincoln have been involved in the coffee sector since 2015, focusing on continuous and dynamic growth. A significant proportion of their employees are women.

Maracanâ is regularly modernized to ensure a consistent improvement in the quality of coffee produced. Recently, an innovative irrigation system was implemented to control soil moisture, resulting in reliable crop yields and significantly reduced water consumption. The farm is committed to sustainable practices, using only natural fertilizers and renewable energy sources.

Marina and Lincoln provide dignified working conditions for their permanent staff and employ around 80 additional workers during the harvest season. They are also actively involved in the local community, organizing educational initiatives that enable even the poorest to attend school and pursue education from primary levels to university.
