A Symphony of Flavors: Mogiana Coffee Beans with Arara, Caturra, and Mundo Novo coffee varieties

The Alta Mogiana region, located in the northeastern part of São Paulo state and bordering Minas Gerais in Brazil, is a renowned coffee-producing area with a rich history and ideal conditions for cultivating high-quality beans.

This region benefits from a unique combination of high altitude, fertile volcanic soil, and a favorable climate that allows for exceptional coffee growth. The region's altitude ranges between 900 and 1,200 meters above sea level, which provides the perfect environment for the development of complex flavors and natural sweetness in coffee beans.

At Alta Mogiana, farmers care deeply about sustainable and eco-friendly farming practices. These practices ensure that our Mogiana green coffee beans are grown responsibly and with minimal impact on the environment, making sure that there is a high standard for animal welfare, land management, and soil conservation. The result is delicious, ethically sourced coffee beans that can be enjoyed knowing that their production was done with the planet’s well-being in mind.

Coffee production in Alta Mogiana is deeply rooted in tradition, with many farms dating back to the 19th century. The region's coffee growers are known for their dedication to sustainable farming practices and their pursuit of innovation in processing methods, which has helped to elevate the quality and reputation of Alta Mogiana coffee on the global stage.

Many of the coffees produced in this region are characterized by their bright but mild acidity, fruity and chocolate undertones, and a well-balanced body. These distinct characteristics make Alta Mogiana coffee beans a sought-after choice for discerning coffee enthusiasts and specialty roasters worldwide.

The Mogiana crop is known to be an all year round crop, harvested a couple of times during the year. Hence, it is one of the well known espresso focused crops all over the world. Loved by many for its bold and deep aromatic notes of chocolate, caramel-like brown sugars, and distinct nutty fragrances. Perfect for americano lovers, as well as your favorite milk based drinks. 

Our roasting approach for this crop was mainly to highlight its deep and rich aromatics and sugar sweetness, as well as lowering it's mild acidity to better highlight those nutty characters of it. So we opted to roast it to a dark medium level to reach this bold potential and long lasting aftertaste. Optimizing it to better suit that 9 bar espresso focused extraction for your classical yet nutty twisted flavor profile.
