Questions people ask.

What makes Casa Almeida Barreto distinctive?

The family bought the land to make wine and found mature coffee trees already growing on it. Instead of pulling them out, they brought their training in oenology, agronomy and fermentation to the cherries — and the estate now makes both.

What does winemaking have to do with coffee?

Ferment control. The estate runs coffee fermentations in the stainless-steel tanks and with the same temperature discipline it uses for wine, and by its own account keeps experimenting — picking earlier, drying slower, expanding the patios.

How high does this coffee grow?

Satellite mapping measures roughly 1,270 m at the farm's mapped point. 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.

Where can I buy its coffees in Europe?

Right now 1 roasters in 1 countries list coffees from this farm — each card above links to the roaster's own shop.

Where does Daily Roast get this information?

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.
