Progresso Farms, Mucuge Brazil from Noah N on Vimeo.

This is one video from a series of farm specific videos made by Cafe Imports. This video was shot during the Barista Champ Origin Trip 2011 to Brazil. It features Progresso Farms.

Fazenda Progresso Started with production of soy bean. Beans failed due to lack of rain and no irrigation. Potatoes were a success though.

The Borre Family found this region, but at the time it was not advanced with agriculture.

Distinct Microclimate

Size: 22000 hectares total, 850 hectares coffee. (producing 600 hectares now due to young trees)

Area is a Bioma: they made one unique reserve for the coffee land between all the coffee farmers. 20% of their land is dedicated to the reserve. 100m from each side of the river is untouchable.

Manual picking. They have 400 people hand picking coffee. The coffee is extremely uniform and well picked. The Catuai varietal is extremely dense with many many cherries on each arm.

They take very good care of their pickers. They have restaurant, bathrooms, and bus service for the employees. It is a family company with family values.

The cup is much richer than most Colombians.  It has dark chocolate, tobacco, honey, and roasted peanut in the cup.  This coffee has milder acidity than many of our other Colombian microlots from Huila and other regions.  This is a very unique project, and we are very proud to work with the Kogui Tribe in Colombia!
