Fazenda Alvorada, from Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Fazenda Alvorada is located in Aricanduva, Minas Gerais, Brazil, and is managed by Raquel Meirelles, a 30-year-old, fourth-generation coffee grower. The farm consists of 233 hectares of land dedicated to growing coffee. It sits at an elevation of 1,100 m.a.s.l, and boast over 25 coffee tree varieties such as Red and Yellow Catuaí, Geisha, Maragogype, Paraíso, Sarchimor, and other amazing local varieties.

This Anaerobic Natural lot starts its processing by picking and floating the cherries and leaving them to dry ferment in sealed tanks for up to 5 days. The cherries are then placed to dry in open patios for 15 to 20 days, depending on the weather.

Answering Coffee’s Calling…

Raquel grew up surrounded by coffee – her father always made sure of that. She learned the craft from a very early age but decided to explore other horizons. After exploring her options and moving to the city, she started to yearn for the coffee fields, which led her to the decision in 2021 to return to her roots and take the helm of her family’s farm. 

Managing a coffee farm is still pretty new to her, but gladly she still has her father for support, and they make one hell of a team! More than productivity, Fazenda Alvorada aims to produce quality beans with a focus on sustainability. 

Since 2024, we have been working with Raquel and Fazenda Alvorada, and her ambition has us thrilled of what lies ahead!
