About this coffee

Every coffee lover out there knows Minas Gerais – the. Largest coffee growing state in Brazil. A staggering 55% of Brazil's coffee comes from there. Crazy, right! But Here's the thing ... Minas Gerais coffees have traditionally been the kind of coffee that you drink and forget, mostly used as espresso blend bases.

But lately Brazilian coffees are seeing a resurrection – also thanks to new approaches in growing and processing coffees. And new farmers! Pieter Keijsers comes from the Netherlands, but moved to Brazilway back,where he bought a coffee farm with his wife back in 2008. The farm, called Sítio Maracatu is located in the south of Minas Gerais, a region called Sul de Minas.

With an elevation of appr. 1000m above sea level and a mild annual temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, Pieter has a wonderful playground to develop truly spectacular coffees. Add to thet a modern approach to coffee processing and we have a Dutch guy that is part of the coffee revolution in Brazil.

This anaerobic fermented coffee is a true showcase of Pieter's dedicated work and the new direction of Brazilian coffees that are not just forgettable espresso bases, but lively and fruity gems that also excel as filter coffee.
