Brazil Eagle Monte Carmelo (Cafe Delas)

About This Coffee

Eagle Monte Carmelo is our take on a classic profile from a classic region: the Cerrado Mineiro. Our goal with this coffee is to have a a consistent profile from lot to lot, and year to year, making this a coffee that you can rely on year-round. 

“This lot was soured from Andrea Ribeiro Silva's farm Fazenda Aragão as part of our Café Delas Program. Café Delas was created to help women farmers access the resources, knowledge and voice they need to grow their operations to the fullest potential. Every Café Delas coffee is sourced 100% from women farmers and for every sale, a portion of the profit is reinvested in programs that promote gender equality and empower women in the field. 

The Region

Coffee was first cultivated in Cerrado Mineiro in the 1970s by farmers from Paraná and São Paulo. The region, which covers 55 municipalities in total, achieved the Denomination of Origin in 2013 and was the first region in the country to receive this recognition. 

"Our family has been in the coffee-growing industry for generations, passing from great-grandmother to great- grandson, all within coffee cultivation. In times of crisis, it is important to add value to our product, so we have sought to constantly adapt and improve, both in cultivation and in post-harvest process. Our priority is to produce quality coffee while always taking care of the environment and the well-being of our employees.

I started helping my father in the farm management after my mother’s death. I work in the administrative part of the property, in payments, purchases and all farm controls. Now I want to learn more about post-harvest activities and coffee preparation process to improve our management and turn our coffee even more special.” - Andreia Ribeiro Silva
