Brazil Das Almas

This coffee is produced by Adriano Muñiz on his family’s farm in South Minas. It offers a complex aroma with blueberry and chocolate notes, finishing with a clean sweetness. Its bold aroma makes it a unique choice: not an everyday coffee, but a fun one for special occasions.  

Agropecuária Muñiz has been under the ownership and management of the Muñiz family since 1965. Adriano's father was the initial member of the family to enter coffee production. When Adriano assumed control of the business, he recognized the need to enhance the quality of their product to stay up-to-date with market developments. They invested in both infrastructure and developing their processing methods, earning the reputation as pioneers in the specialty coffee market around Cabo Verde City.

Adriano has a specific plot for experimenting with new and diverse coffee varieties, planting roughly 20 trees of each. Following the post-harvest and sensory analysis, they gain insights into which varieties are thriving in the farm's microclimate. This knowledge facilitates informed decisions for future renovations in their coffee plantation.

This approach also enables them to try new post-harvest procedures on a smaller scale, assessing the outcomes before implementing them on larger batches.

The Muñiz Family's efforts have garnered notable recognition. In 2022, Adriano secured the 4th position in the prestigious Especialíssimo Award, jointly organised by Cooxupé and SMC. This program aims to identify exceptional coffee lots within the cooperative's network.
