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 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 (35.4 g/kg organic carbon in the topsoil) · clay — 43% clay, 30% sand, 26% 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
