About the Producers

This complex and sweet blend marries the distinct stories of two dedicated farming families and communities from different worlds. From the rolling hills of Minas Gerais, Brazil, comes coffee from Sítio Vista Alegre, a small farm nurtured by Margarida and José Élio.
This hope-filled profile is beautifully balanced by a coffee from the highlands of Veracruz, Mexico, sourced from the resilient agricultural communities of Mafafas. United, these origins create a remarkable cup where the fulfilled ambition of Brazilian terroir meets the rugged, persevering spirit of Mexican coffee.
