About this coffee

From raising cows and planting vegetables to producing coffee 
In 1973, the Pessin family moved to Piaçu, in the municipality of Muniz Freire, to raise cows and plant corn and beans. 5 years later, the family became involved in coffee plantation. From 1977, the family left the raising and decided to dedicate themselves to coffee culture. Year after year, they increased the area of coffee planted. Wishing to develop further, they invested to be autonomous in the processing of coffee: dryer, mill, small washing station, ... 

A responsible single variety farm 

The Pessin family decided to bet on the robusta variety Conilon because the local climate is favourable to its culture. The preservation of natural resources is important to the family. Thanks to solar panels, the farm is self-sufficient in electricity. 


Capixaba simply means native of the Espirito Santo region. This robusta conilon has a very clean robusta cup profile. We can also note light fruit aromas and a touch of acidity.

The region Espirito Santo

Although the state of Espirito Santo is one of the smallest in Brazil, it is known for its mosaic of landscapes, from rugged mountains to Atlantic coastal regions. Known for its historic robusta production, Espirito Santo is a new player in specialty coffee production. The production of Arabica used to have a bad reputation. The high humidity in the air coming from the ocean has been a real challenge to process and dry coffee properly.

A small appellation for Brazil, Espirito Santo is made up of small estates of 5 to 20 hectares located on steep mountains. Very mountainous terroir, the harvests are 100% manual with a high percentage of selective collection. Rich in native forests with a remarkable biodiversity, the region wishes to preserve the quality of its territory and its remarkable landscapes punctuated by the Atlantic coast and steep mountains.

This region has the most cloud cover, moisture and therefore rain out of any other in Brazil because of its close proximity to the coast. Coffees here have a distinctively sharper acidity and clarity to flavor. Think citrus fruit and brown sugar with light florals. This region resembles more like Colombia than the rest of Brasil !
