The Cerrado Mineiro region is situated in the Minas Gerais state of Brazil, offering visual delight with its plains, hilly landscapes, and savannah-like vegetation.
The unique geographical location, tropical climate, abundant sunlight, and well-distributed rainfall create an ideal environment for coffee cultivation.
Rich, well-drained soils mainly composed of red and yellow latosols also contribute to the exceptional coffee production in the region.
Coffee was introduced to the Cerrado Mineiro region in the 1970s and quickly became a significant driver of the local economy. The region’s natural resources, infrastructure, and skilled workforce facilitated the rapid expansion of coffee farms.
Over the years, the Cerrado Mineiro region has gained a reputation as a producer of high-quality coffee beans and is now recognized as one of the leading coffee-growing regions in Brazil and the world.
Specialty coffees from the Cerrado Mineiro region are known for their well-balanced flavor profiles, full-bodied texture, and bright acidity.
Each farm in the region cultivates different varieties of Arabica coffee, with popular choices being Catuaí, Mundo Novo, and Yellow Bourbon. This diverse selection of coffee beans creates a flavor palette that includes various notes such as chocolate, nuts, caramel, and fruity undertones.

Las Terrazzas del Pisque, located in North of Quito is in the heart of the Tulipe coffee region. Tulipe can have destructive earthquakes, on average one every 50 years and can only produce coffee, some lavendel and winegrapes.
It is indeed a rather insane project even to a hero-farmer Arnaud Caussee to grow such a champagne-tasting specialty coffee at an altitude of between 1800 and 2100 meters lying in a cloudy forest under the shade of indigenous cedars and banana trees.

Nyeri is situated 180 km north of Nairobi, halfway between the Aberdare Mountains and Mount Kenya, it is also the region where a elargest number of farmers work, where most of the farms are located above 1750 meters above sea level and it is one of the most prestigious coffee producing regions in the world. The small producers, whose characteristic feature is the use of shade in their crops, work properties ranging from one to 30 hectares. To date, the Kenyan coffee export system is constantly changing and in recent years has undergone positive changes, allowing producers to join together and collectively export their coffee in the name of MECOP, as well as allowing producers to embrace the traceability of their coffees.
MECOP is an association of small Kenyan producers led by David Maguta. MECOP works mainly in 3 producing regions: Nyeri, Embu and Kiambu with a dozen farmers. Each farmer has his own drying station with very high quality metal drying beds, Grain Pro bags, more precise equipment. The coffees are therefore dried on each farm and then David Maguta takes care of quality control, transport to a private processing company and all the export management to guarantee the traceability of each microlot.

This microlot, where coffee is produced using the semi-dry processing method, is located in Bali.
Arabica coffee grows in these areas alongside citrus trees. In the early 1990s, when coffee prices plummeted, many farmers were forced to cut down their coffee trees and replace them with mandarins and oranges. By cultivating coffee and citrus fruits together on the same field, a natural shade formed over the coffee plants. This way, the coffee trees are protected from harsh direct sunlight, and the soil under the vegetation remains moist for a longer period.

This Yirgacheffe coffee is harvested and prepared by Metad. Metad works with local farmers who supply them with their best cherries. More than 2000 farmers in the vicinity of Gedeb currently sell all or part of their harvest to Metad.
Metad has set up a washing station in Gedeb, which offers advantages for bean preparation. It is a coffee that takes longer to dry and also suffers less damage from insects. The result is a better-quality coffee with a more intricate cup.
The group is aware of the natural wealth of the Gedeo area and promotes more environmentally responsible agricultural practices. In addition, it finances road construction and a primary school for 800 pupils.
