Origin of the coffee
Meet Haroldo de Almeida, the dedicated coffee farmer whose passion for coffee reaches far, far into his family origins. His own journey began in the early childhood when his father – a small coffee producer – instilled him with a respect for the land and its produce. Despite the challenges and difficulties such as unpredictable weather, and more recently a hailstorm, Haroldo remains determined to keep making premium quality coffee.
His farm, Sitio Babilonia in Cerrado, Brazil, has the perfect conditions for growing coffee beans. The area is famous for its far-reaching plains and low hills. The altitude of around 1200 meters along with the predictable droughts and rainy seasons create the ideal site for growing coffee plants and, in turn, some incredibly good coffee beans.
Natural semi-anaerobic processing guarantees a wide range of flavor, as this process of fermentation allows the microorganisms involved to work both with and without oxygen – creating both aerobic and anaerobic reactions. This is the reason behind the intensive flavor profile with fruity, spicy tones.
On Sitio Babilonia farm every step during the coffee production is taken with the utmost care, from organic fertilizers, compost and hand-picking the coffee cherries to innovative processing methods. This provided Haroldo with the high score of 84 points from the SCA – a proof of his love for and dedication to his trade.

Thanks to the hermetic seal, this container helps the contents further keep their freshness and protect them against humidity, light or foreign odors.
