Horsham Coffee Roaster: Brazil, Inhame Farm, Natural

Brazil produces around 1/3 of the entire worldwide production of coffee. This ranges from low-grade robusta to high cup scoring micro-lots. We've always loved coffee from Brazil and our favourite coffees tend to showcase nutty, chocolate notes with sweet gentle stone fruit flavours.

Inhame produces some of the best Brazilian coffee, about 500 x 60kg bags of specialty grade coffee every year. We were able to purchase over half their total production for the most recent 2020 harvest. By working directly with producers we are able to ensure that our purchase makes a real difference and that we are paying a sustainable price with the majority of the money-making its way back to the farmer.

Brazil Inhame is a small family farm with 28 hectares of coffee trees located near to the town of Campos Altos. We were introduced to the farm by Bruno Souza, owner of Academia do Cafe, a Q Grader, coffee farmer, and one of the most experienced coffee professionals in Brazil.

The farm is owned by Marco Aurelio and is managed in partnership with his son Bruno (an agronomist). They have a strong environmental focus concentrating on the preservation of local water sources and indigenous fauna and floral.
