Where was your coffee born?

Artisanal flavor in contact with nature, at the foot of the mythical Pico da Bandeira

Matas de Minas

The Matas de Minas region is located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Its main characteristic is the fact that all of its integrant cities are coffee producers and are located at high altitudes, from 600 to 1200 meters.

Today, approximately 24% of coffee production in the state of Minas Gerais comes from this region, cultivated by around 36 thousand producers. Of these, around 80% are small producers, with whom we have developed a relationship of partnership and respect with Carioca Coffees.

In addition to the high altitudes, other particularities make Matas de Minas special and influence the production of its coffee. Areas of mountainous and irregular topography covered by the Mata Atlantica biome, the territory’s mild climate and the technological evolution of artisanal processes developed in the region result in artisanal quality beans, with a variety of flavors and nuances that make the coffee that comes from here unique and unforgettable.

Coffee with taste of tradition and strong as the earth

A work of excellence

In Matas de Minas, cultivation is naturally sustainable. The predominance of family farming, the direct and indirect economic and social impact and the natural integration that strengthens the relationship between man and the forest mark this production. It is a pioneering region in artisanal quality, where the manual work and techniques developed demonstrate a dedication to produce in high quality.

This way, coffees from our region, known for having notes of chocolate, caramel, fruits and nuts, have acquired both national and international recognition. Winning quality awards and having great performance in best coffee rankings are a source of pride and reward the efforts of these producers.

Due to all this diversity and richness, the birthplace of our coffees couldn't be any other.
