Estimated historical climate conditions for the area around this farm.
Source: Europe's Copernicus climate service, averaged over 2015–2024 for the area around the farm. Not live weather, and not measured at the farm itself.
Measured from Europe's Copernicus satellite elevation maps. The roasters list lots from 1,250 m. Satellite readings include the tree tops, so treat this as approximate.
What surrounds the farm, seen from space in a satellite land survey from 2021. Most of it reads as tree cover — that is the landscape this coffee grows in.
acidic (pH 5.3) · very high in organic matter (28.9 g/kg organic carbon in the topsoil) · clay loam — 36% clay, 43% sand, 21% silt
From the global soil survey — a reading of the ground around the farm point, not a sample taken on it.
The climate classification for this part of the world — the broad weather pattern the farm sits inside.
Four generations of the Dias family have farmed this valley since the eighteen-nineties. The hills shade the trees for part of the day, the cherries ripen slowly, and the farm's Bourbon lots have earned Cup of Excellence awards along the way.
Gabriel Dias, great-grandson of the man who bought the land, grows and sells these coffees directly to roasteries — the lots on this page reached Europe through that direct route.
Satellite mapping measures roughly 1,010 m at the farm's mapped point, on the high ground of the Vale da Grama near São Sebastião da Grama. Coffee plots often sit higher up a property than its gate, so treat the roaster's own listing as the guide for any specific lot.
Right now 1 roasters in 1 countries list coffees from this farm — each card above links to the roaster's own shop.

These sources describe the mapped point and the datasets used for the estimates above. They do not establish the growing location of every coffee lot.
