Mogiana
Mogiana is a region of the State of São Paulo, one of the most populous and economically important states in Brazil. It is home to the port of Santos, where much of Brazil’s coffee is exported. The region was named for the railway company that built the rail network in the region. ‘Companhia Mogiana de Estradas de Ferro’ built the so-called ‘railway of coffee’ in the 1880’s, and to this day it carries much of Brazil’s coffee exports to Santos. The railway, as well as the excellent climatic conditions have led to a great deal of coffee being produced in Mogiana. In a Brazilian context there is plentiful high altitude, and a constant temperature of around 20°C year round leads to consistently well balanced and high quality cups.Natural Catuai
Ana Laura Jacinto grows coffee at 1280 masl in Alta Mogiana, the mountainous sub-region on the border to Minas Gerais, where many of the Brazilian coffees we work with are grown. Ana’s farm is named Boa Vista, for the beautiful view over the surrounding rolling hills, and down into the valley formed by the Rio Grande.
This lot of natural Catuai was processed on the farm, dried slowly on patios over 8 days. This gives a traditional profile of deep chocolate, hazelnut and red apple.
