Brazil Catanduva Farm (JUL 26)

Fazenda Catanduva, Portuguese for "Catanduva Farm," has been farmed by the Nakao family for more than 30 years, part of a coffee legacy that began when the family arrived in Brazil in 1918 and worked the West Paulista region. Second-generation producer Mitsuo Nakao became a pioneer of the Cerrado Mineiro region after relocating from São Paulo to Minas Gerais in 1984, eventually expanding to six family farms across Chapadão de Ferro, Patos de Minas, and Patrocínio. Since his passing in 2013, his children have carried the farms forward, including Marie Nakao Sasaki and Alfredo Jesus Mitio Nakao, who now lead Catanduva. The name honors Catanduva-SP, the Paulista city where the family lived for years before moving to Minas Gerais. What began as land requiring heavy investment to correct and prepare has become a farm focused on quality and long-term environmental and social responsibility.

This lot is a single varietal of Mundo Novo, processed as a pulped natural. Expect a classic Brazil pulped-natural profile: nuttiness, fudge, nougat, and toasted marshmallow.
