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 1,100–1,700 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 5.1) · very high in organic matter (51.2 g/kg organic carbon in the topsoil) · clay — 40% clay, 31% sand, 29% 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.
Bourbon, done deliberately: cherries are picked by hand onto cloth and washed the same day so fermentation never runs ahead of the farm. Its lots reached the Cup of Excellence finals several times in the early two-thousands.
The Carvalho Dias family has held the land since the eighteen-nineties; Gabriel de Carvalho Dias manages it today. The farm also runs housing, schooling and treated-water programmes for the families who work it — its own account, and part of how it presents itself.
Satellite mapping measures roughly 1,370 m at the farm's mapped point, on the upper slopes of the Vale 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.
Most of the coffees currently listed from Fazenda Rainha are natural. That reflects what is on shelves today, not everything the farm produces.
Right now 5 roasters in 5 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.
