For many years, Osmar Pereira Nunes, the family patriarch, was immersed in cattle farming, unaware that the region's most prized crop was yet to be cultivated. On November 24th, 1984, Osmar Junior planted 10 hectares of Arabica coffee in the Cerrado Mineiro soil. Initially managing his father's cattle, Osmar Junior's agricultural passion grew, fuelled by immigrants investing in Minas Gerais coffee. For Osmar Junior, coffee transcended its commodity status to become a globally valued and cherished product.

Filter roast is coffee that’s been roasted to shine in slow, chill brew methods like pour-over, AeroPress, or drip coffee. It’s all about those delicate, complex flavors — the ones you actually want to taste when you’re not half-asleep and smashing a double shot.

This roast is lighter and sweeter, bringing out the bean’s natural character (like wine, but less pretentious). Perfect for those who like to savor their coffee, not slam it back.

So, if your coffee machine sounds like a jet engine, this one’s not for you. But if you love a clean, balanced brew that makes your mornings feel a little brighter — welcome to the filter roast club. 😎
