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 950–1,200 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 5.2) · very high in organic matter (35.2 g/kg organic carbon in the topsoil) · clay — 48% clay, 33% sand, 19% 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.
The Junqueira family has grown coffee in southern Minas since the late eighteen-hundreds, and this farm — Nossa Senhora do Carmo in full — has been theirs for around three generations. Today Tulio Junqueira runs it with a stated aim of joining tradition and innovation on a sustainable farm.
José Procópio Junqueira, who acquired the farm, named it in honour of Our Lady of Carmo, the saint dear to his mother. Family lore also records him running the coffee mill off his jeep's engine at harvest time in the nineteen-forties — improvisation the farm is still proud of.
Satellite mapping measures roughly 890 m at the farm's mapped point, in the coffee hills around Heliodora. 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.
Each roaster names the farm on its own listing, and that is exactly what we show — the roaster's claim about where the coffee comes from, attributed to them.
Right now 4 roasters in 2 countries list coffees from this farm — each card above links to the roaster's own shop.
From the roasters' own listings, the farm's public materials, and Europe's Copernicus Earth-observation programme. We only publish what we can check — and we say so when something is an estimate.
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.
