Fazenda Santa Ines

Fazenda Santa Ines dominates Brazil’s specialty coffee scene, winning the Cup of Excellence three times since 2015. Grown at over 1,200 meters in the Mantiqueira Mountains of Minas Gerais, each micro-lot undergoes meticulous hand-sorting and natural drying, yielding scores above 88 points. This estate outperforms #2 Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza in both consistency and auction prices, with its 2024 harvest fetching $85 per pound—nearly 40% higher than the typical regional rival. The rich chocolate and citrus notes are direct results of the terroir’s volcanic soil and cool nights.
