💬 Description

Nestled in the mountainous Mantiqueira de Minas region, Santo Antônio is a fourth-generation family farm with a legacy dating back to 1933. Today, Carolina Alckmin carries the family tradition forward with a focus on quality, innovation, and sustainability.

The farm’s steep terrain ensures hand-harvested cherries, enabling meticulous control and consistency. This lot of Arara variety is processed naturally under anaerobic conditions, yielding a clean, fruit-forward coffee with structure and depth, perfect for both espresso and milk-based drinks.

Beyond production, Santo Antônio is committed to sustainability:

• One hectare of native forest is preserved for every two hectares of coffee planted.

• Solar power and repurposed processing waste support eco-friendly operations.

• Community initiatives like Frutificar (empowering women in coffee cultivation) and The Community Garden promote local nutrition and participation.

SUMO – Arara is a reflection of thoughtful farming, strong values, and a deep connection to the land — expressive, complex, and deeply satisfying in every cup.
