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 1,200 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.
very acidic (pH 5) · very high in organic matter (41.6 g/kg organic carbon in the topsoil) · sandy clay loam — 31% clay, 49% sand, 20% 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.
It farms coffee inside an agroforestry system without chemical fungicides or fertilisers, certified organic and biodynamic — planting and harvest are timed to natural cycles, and the forest around the trees is part of the farm, not an obstacle to it.
The jacu, a wild forest bird, eats only the ripest cherries; the farm collects the beans it leaves behind and processes them as a separate lot. It is a rare, expensive coffee — the bird does the picking, nobody cages or feeds it.
Olivar Fontenelle de Araújo acquired the land in the nineteen-sixties; his grandson Henrique Sloper de Araújo replanted it with hundreds of thousands of trees at the turn of the millennium and led it into organic and biodynamic certification. One of its lots took first place at Brazil's Cup of Excellence in the late twenty-tens.
Satellite mapping measures roughly 1,050 m at the farm's mapped point, in the mountains above Domingos Martins. 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.
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.
