Questions people ask.

What makes Fazenda Samambaia distinctive?

Continuity and cooperation. The Cambraia family has grown coffee here since the eighteen-nineties, and rather than going it alone, the farm helped found what became SanCoffee — a cooperative of neighbouring estates that exports together and holds a certified social-and-environmental standard.

Who runs the farm today?

Henrique Dias Cambraia, the fourth generation. He took the farm on as a young man after his father's death and reoriented it around specialty coffee in the late nineteen-nineties.

How high does this coffee grow?

Satellite mapping measures roughly 960 m at the farm's mapped point, in the rolling hills of the Campo das Vertentes. 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.
