Brazil Mogiana Mountains (dark roast)

The Bob-o-Link Farmers Initiative is an association of family-run coffee farms, initiated by the historic coffee farmFazenda Ambiental Fortaleza (“Environmental Fortress”)in the Mogiana Mountains of the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. As early as 1999, this farm was converted by Marcos Croce and his family to organic coffee cultivation in harmony with nature – symbolized by the bobolink, a migratory bird native to North and South America.

Bob-o-Link CoffeeIt originates in one of the highest-altitude coffee-growing regions of Brazil. The family farms of the producer cooperative are situated between 900 and 1,250 meters above sea level. The coffees are not intended to be uniform mass-produced products – therefore, the farmers strive to bring out the unique characteristics of the different growing locations.

The coffee varieties used for the Bob-o-Link – Yellow and Red Bourbon, Catuai, and Mundo Novo – are among the best in the world. The coffee cherries are hand-picked at their peak ripeness. They are then expertly sun-dried (naturally processed).
