Fazenda Taquaral

With a passion for the countryside and agriculture, Luis’ dedication to his studies helped produce this award-winning coffee. We’re thrilled to share this one of two beautiful Brazilian coffees that won at the Best SanCup Auction through our longstanding partner SanCoffee. As a child, Luis was always encouraged to focus on his studies to widen his professional options. He moved to the main city of Lavras in the southern state of Minas Gerais early in his teenage years to pursue his dreams of becoming a doctor. However, he was eventually drawn to agronomic engineering because of a lifelong passion for agriculture. When he returned to the family farm, he applied these modern agricultural and processing learnings to his coffee production, resulting in a delicious example of uniquely fermented coffee.
