Our partners in Brazil are Jaguara Coffee. We have been working with Natalia Moreira for several years and source our coffees from two of her farms: Vale do Sol and Sao Francisco. Vale do Sol began with her grandfather Alexandre Garcia Capelo. Her father, Antonio Wander Garcia, followed in Alexandre’s footsteps. As an agricultural engineer, he has been very focused on coffee nutrition. Natalia represents the third generation of coffee producers that have followed coffee through the numerous highs and lows of the last 50 years.

Today Natalia and Jaguara are dedicated to improving working conditions and farming practices within the coffee industry. Their work begins at home, in their farms they have expanded their green areas, protected water sources with buffer zones around rivers
and springs, switched from fertiliser to organic mulching and are constantly testing new hybrids for resistance to rust, drought and nematodes.
