We have been working with Edivaldo for a few years now, and he consistently produces some of the highest-quality coffee we see in Espírito Santo. In this cup we find hibiscus, sweet cranberry, and honey.

ABOUT EDIVALDO CUNHA
Our exporting partners at FAF introduced us to Edivaldo last year. He has since proven himself to be one of the more inspired producers that we've met in Espiríto Santo. We visited his farm this year, and it is no surprise that his coffee continues to shine. We look forward to watching his process continue to evolve into the future.
ABOUT ARARA
Arara was selected from a research variety garden in Brazil. It is a natural mutation of the Obatã germline, which is a Villa Sarchi/Timore hybrid. The variety is high-yielding and highly disease-resistant while maintaining good cup quality.

The cost of getting a coffee from cherry to beverage varies enormously depending on its place of origin and the location of its consumption. The inclusion of price transparency is a starting point to inform broader conversation around the true costs of production and the sustainability of specialty coffee as a whole.
