Adolfo Vieira and his Fazenda Passeio estate, in the rolling landscapes of the Sul de Minas, is one of our key supply partners providing our core blend ingredient “The Woodman”, a coffee we use in Under Milk Wood, Deer Hill and across our range. This micro-lot is produced on a much smaller scale – 100% Aranas arabica from Adolfo’s experimental plot, with only the ripest cherries selected and sun-dried on their patio, then finished on raised beds.
Adolfo reserved and created a specific area on the farm to plant more than 40 different varieties, with 215 coffee trees in total (5 of each variety.) The goal is to evaluate the attributes that these coffees present over the years, so that Adolfo and his team can make positive choices when it comes to renewing the farm's planting areas or creating a new plot.
Nick and Damian visited Adolfo in July 2024 and it was an incredible experience, particularly seeing recent additions to the farm including solar panels, 100% electric equipment, a new high elevation viewing platform and the new education facility. They also had the rare privilege of planting a native sapling on Adolfo’s tree reserve.
