About the Producer
Rich, comforting and effortlessly drinkable, Brazil Sitio Da Torre is everything we love about a classic Brazilian coffee. Roasted to highlight its natural sweetness, it delivers smooth notes of chocolate, roasted hazelnut and ripe plum, creating a beautifully balanced cup with a creamy body and gentle fruit sweetness. Whether you're brewing espresso, cafetière, filter or bean-to-cup, this is a dependable everyday coffee that never feels ordinary.
Grown in the renowned Mantiqueira de Minas region of Sul de Minas, this coffee comes from one of Brazil's most respected speciality coffee-producing areas. Mantiqueira de Minas became the first Brazilian coffee region to receive Geographical Indication (GI) status, recognising the unique climate, altitude and terroir that consistently produce exceptional coffees. Home to over 7,800 coffee producers, the region combines traditional farming with an increasing focus on quality, traceability and innovation.
This lot comes from Sitio Da Torre, a beautiful fourth-generation family farm owned by Álvaro Antônio Pereira Coli. The Coli family's coffee story began in the 19th century when Antonia Coli emigrated from Italy to Brazil, establishing the farm high in the rolling hills overlooking São Lourenço and Carmo de Minas. Today, Álvaro continues that legacy, investing heavily in both quality and sustainability while constantly experimenting with new processing techniques and coffee varieties for future harvests.
The farm is internationally recognised for excellence, having achieved an incredible 29 Cup of Excellence awards, alongside numerous other accolades that reflect decades of dedication to producing outstanding speciality coffee.
This particular lot has been processed using the natural process, allowing the coffee cherries to dry intact before milling. Ripe cherries are carefully hand-picked before being dried on a combination of raised beds and traditional concrete patios, helping develop the coffee's rich sweetness, full body and complex fruit character. Once dried, the coffee is dry milled on the farm before undergoing a final sorting and cleaning process at the Cocarive warehouse, also managed by Álvaro, ensuring exceptional consistency and quality in every batch.
Roasted for our Classic Range, Brazil Sitio Da Torre is approachable, versatile and satisfying. Its smooth chocolate base, nutty sweetness and subtle plum finish make it an ideal choice for those who enjoy a rich, balanced coffee with plenty of character.
