Fazenda Chapadão, from Pratinha, Minas Gerais.
Fazenda Chapadão is located in Pratinha, Minas Gerais, Brazil, and is managed by brothers Gustavo and Rodrigo Alvarenga, alongside their parents. The farm spans 27.5 hectares of land, sitting at an elevation range of 1,200 to 1,215 m.a.s.l., with coffee varieties including Red Catuai, Yellow Catuai, Catiguá, Topazio, and Yellow Bourbon.
All of the coffees are harvested mechanically at peak cherry ripeness. The coffees are then laid to dry as a Natural process. Recently though, they’ve experimented with honey/pulped naturals and fermentation techniques designed to enhance the beans’ flavor profiles.
From Cattle to Craft
Gustavo and Rodrigo’s father (Mr. Ciro) first planted coffee in 1989, a bold move in a region then deemed unfit for coffee cultivation; for years, cattle dominated the land. However, in 2009, Gustavo joined the farm after high school, sparking a shift toward specialty coffee. Rodrigo followed in 2018, leaving a banking career to focus on quality control and roasting, later launching their micro-roasting brand, Artefato Cafés Especiais.
Today, every step—from planting seedlings to roasting—is handled by the family, ensuring unparalleled attention to detail. Their commitment extends to sustainability, with 49% of the farm preserved as native forest and Rainforest Alliance certification guiding their practices.
We began working with Fazenda Chapadão in 2024, and their relentless innovation, attention to detail, and passion for storytelling assure us this partnership will thrive. As Rodrigo puts it, “We’re not just growing coffee; we’re crafting a legacy worth savoring.”
