Lucas Alves do Nascimento has spent more than forty years developing Fazenda São Mateus in Patrocinio, Minas Gerais to build on the legacy of his father Mario.

Like a lot of Brazilian coffee farms, finding a balance between productivity and quality is key, and Lucas has invested in infrastructure and technology that have helped improve the consistency of their coffee. The next generation’s perspective has brought a new energy for specialty coffee and advanced processing, resulting in forward thinking lots like this anaerobic natural roasted by Hundred House.

Still lots of classic chocolatey flavour alongside a punch of purple fruit sweetness and raspberry brightness.
