Introduction to Fazenda Santa Rosa, Brazil - Brazilian Coffee Introduction - How to Drink Brazilian Coffee?

Farm History

In 1974, Mr. Arlindo Conde decided to invest in his first coffee farm in the Mogiana region.

Today the company has expanded its scale along with the growth of the coffee industry in the Cerrado region.

In 1994, Rosalia Farm was purchased, followed by Santa Lucia Farm in 1998.

The total production area of the two farms now reaches 4,000 hectares.

Saint Rosalia Farm has a cultivated area of 2,031 hectares, with an additional 766 hectares of preserved land.

It is located in Alasha, in the Cerrado region, and employs 110 staff members.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Brazilian coffee is known for its balance and variety, and FrontStreet's Cerrado Red Bourbon is a classic single-origin way to taste the region. From the well-known Cerrado area, it's a common South American Red Bourbon that, when medium roasted, shows rich aromas of cream peanut, toasted bread, caramel and hazelnut, with a rounded body, low acidity and a light bitter finish. It brews well as pour-over but also works in a moka pot, espresso SOE, siphon and French press.

If you'd prefer a touch more sweetness, FrontStreet's Brazil Queen's Farm from the Mogiana region is grown on fertile red volcanic soil that feeds a fuller aroma. This rare Yellow Bourbon - a natural mutation of Red Bourbon - offers a cleaner fruit character and, whether as pour-over, moka pot or home espresso, delivers a sugarcane sweetness that other origins rarely match, alongside fruit and chocolate notes.
