Fazenda Santa Rosa sits atop the high mountainous terrain of Southern Minas Gerais, about 15km south of Carmo de Minas. When Samir Rage Matuck purchased the farm in the 1980s nothing was being cultivated on the land, and after 20+ years of hard work and dedication, Santa Rosa is now an example of excellence in the Mantiqueira de Minas region. Â
All coffee processing happens on the farm, where cherry is floated and sorted by density to ensure the highest quality lots are kept separated. Samir and his team are also dedicated to the preservation of the local environment, and all water used during processing is recycled. Â
This coffee juicy and loud, with notes of red fruit and citrus. Â
