Fazenda Lagoa

From humble beginnings, Amilton Lopes da Silva is an award-winning producer who is creating a future for his family through hard work and dedication. We're absolutely thrilled to share this one of two beautiful Brazil coffees won at the Best SanCup Auction through our longstanding partner SanCoffee.

Amilton Lopes da Silva began working in a local coffee nursery in his teens and through hard work and dedication to his craft was offered 1,000 coffee seedlings to start his own plantation. The first plot of Yellow Catucaí marked the beginning of Fazenda Lagoa, where Amilton now works alongside his wife Anderleia and brother Adilson. The fruits of their labour shine through this naturally processed coffee with flavours of matcha, lime tea, coconut and a maple syrup finish.

SanCoffee is comprised of over 20 fazendas (estates), many of whom are well known in their own right; often placing in the Brazil Cup of Excellence. We’re proud to have a long history with this co-operative, stretching back to 2012! Coffee from their member estates supplies the backbone of some well-loved house blends, as well as some bangin’ lots both as single varietals and experimental processing types.
