About the Farm
Luan Pereira dos Santos, a 20-year-old specialty coffee producer, is engaged to Gabriela Cristy, with whom he shares the dream of soon getting married. Gabriela also hails from a family of coffee producers, further fueling Luan's passion for this field. In 2020, Luan faced the tragic loss of his parents, who left behind a valuable legacy—not in land, but in humility, courage, unity, and a deep love for coffee cultivation. Together with his three siblings, Luan is committed to honoring this family legacy by cultivating coffee and continuously improving the quality and visibility of their beans.
On their farm, every crop is tended with great care and dedication to ensure that each cup of coffee delivered to customers is distinctive, offering remarkable flavor profiles that leave a lasting impression. The farm produces a wide variety of coffees, from natural to fermented and exotic, catering to a diverse range of palates.

What makes this coffee special?
The family farm, Alegria, aptly named for the joy and unity that characterize their close-knit family, is located in the picturesque town of Lambari, in Minas Gerais, a region renowned for its natural sparkling mineral waters. Situated in the magnificent Serra da Mantiqueira, an area famous for producing specialty coffees, the farm benefits from an ideal climate and soil for growing high-quality beans. The elevated altitude, ranging from 1,100 to 1,300 meters, contributes to the production of exceptional coffee.

We excited to introduce roasters to their coffee with tasting notes of caramel, chocolate, honey, with a fruity finish, reminding of ripe yellow fruits like melon and pear, very clean, long, and sweet.
