Terrain & surroundings.

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.

The soil beneath

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

Questions people ask.

What makes Fazenda Rainha distinctive?

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.

Who runs the farm today?

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.

How high does this coffee grow?

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.

How is it usually processed?

Most of the coffees currently listed from Fazenda Rainha are natural. That reflects what is on shelves today, not everything the farm produces.

Where can I buy its coffees in Europe?

Right now 5 roasters in 5 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.
