We’ve been bringing over coffee from our friends at Dbarbosa for a long time now and its amazing to see over that time how the family have moved into the top 10 coffees in Brazil. They were recently awarded the CUP OF EXCELLENCE 2024 – the best of the best,
We visited late last year, it’s a very long drive from Sao Paulo (very!) and on arrival much drinking ensued! Danilo set up the business which is now run between him and his sons and they have their beautiful ‘waterfall’ farm with three principal growing areas in the Minas Gerais area (General Mines). A small loyal workforce bring in the harvest each year and they have an incredible crop, really indicative of the area and we have tasted and shipped the finest lots. We highly recommend this coffee, if you are looking for a great specialty Brazilian at AN INCREDIBLE PRICE then this is the one.
