Acerca de

Espírito Santo is Brazil's second-largest coffee-producing state and the country's primary Robusta (Conilon) origin, accounting for roughly 75% of national Robusta output. The state's mountainous western region around the Caparaó range also produces fine Arabica at elevations above 1,000 meters. Conilon from Espírito Santo is valued for its full body, low acidity, and earthy chocolate notes that anchor espresso blends worldwide. The Caparaó Arabica zone has gained specialty recognition for clean, sweet coffees with surprising complexity. Espírito Santo's dual Arabica-Robusta production makes it one of the most versatile coffee origins in Brazil.
