About Fazenda Rio Brilhante, Brazil
Inacio first arrived in Minas Gerais in 1976 with the dream of producing great coffee via sustainable and innovative practices. After acquiring his own farm in Cerrado Mineiro in 1984, Rio Brilhante has grown to become one of the largest farms in the region, as well as one of the largest in the country, spanning over 2,000 hectares. Since Inacio planted those first trees over 30 years ago, he has continued to strive for excellence within the specialty industry, mainly via his use of rigorous quality control methods.
Rio Brilhante's cup profile lends this blend a rounded and nutty profile with a rich body.
