Coffee through Sustained Devotion

The Pereira Family: A Brazilian Coffee Legacy

Brazilian coffee’s depth unfolds through decades of attentive cultivation that is shaped by families who stay close to the land. The producers in our newest collection reflect this sustained devotion, each estate expressing how the Pereira family has helped shape Brazil’s contemporary coffee landscape through study & long-term commitment.

From the roots of Café Irmãs Pereira, established in 1967 when Maria Valéria and Maria Rogéria Pereira’s father first acquired the farm, to the emergence of Fazenda Santuario Sul in 2015 by Luiz Paulo and partner Camilo Merizalde, these projects grow from the same attentiveness to Brazilian soil and possibility. They’re continuities of evolving coffee practice.

At Fazenda Irmãs Pereira, hands-on experimentation with pulping and post-harvest refinement deepened the family’s approach to specialty coffee production. Meanwhile, Fazenda Santuário Sul sees traditional Yellow Bourbon grow alongside a carefully curated library of more than 30 international varieties, each acclimating and expressing itself within Carmo de Minas.

The coffees we’re sharing carry these forward. Santuário Sul Sudan Rume Washed opens with the familiarity of a well-loved fruitcake — golden raisin, green apple, cashew, and molasses. Fazenda Irmãs Pereira Catucaí Natural follows with a richer expression, reminiscent of fondue: chocolate layered with cherry, blueberry, and apple.

Together, these coffees offer a glimpse into Brazilian coffee as an origin region. A land shaped by people who carry the torch forward, so that we get to enjoy the fruits of their effort. Now available via link in bio.
