Brazilian coffees are beloved for their nutty creaminess and subtle fruit flavors, and the coffee grown at Chapadao de Ferro is a great example of why.

Ricardo Vagne Ignotti got his start in coffee in the region of Paraná, where he worked until he observed the coffee boom in the Cerrado region. Inspired by the progress he was seeing, he relocated to the area near Patrocínio, in the southwest. Despite initial challenges—starting from scratch and lacking machinery—his determination eventually paid off, even leading him to expand his coffee plantation to the nearby Guimarânia area. Today, Ricardo and his son Vinícius manage the farm together, benefiting from its ideal climate and fertile land for coffee production.

When brewed, this Brazilian coffee is balanced nutty and chocolatey with a mild acidity similar to an apple. This easy-sipper has a creamy, full body and becomes even sweeter as it cools.
