Andrade Brothers

The Andrade family history began in 1901 at Fazenda Capim Branco , in Carmo do Paranaíba, High Cerrado, state of Minas Gerais. In the early 90s, with the need to expand coffee production, and improve quality, the Andrade brothers acquired Fazenda São Silvestre farm in Serra do Salitre, state of Minas Gerais, this farm produces high quality coffees because of its climate and altitude between 1.100 and 1.200 meters.

 

​

The volcanic soils are perfect for growing Yellow Icatu, Yellow Catuaí and Red Catuai varietals, which thrives here and accounts for the majority of the farm’s yield. This is where Brazil’s best natural coffee beans are produced. Combined with the natural conditions of the region, and excellent agronomy and processing the results are excellent quality, award-winning beans, appreciated worldwide.

In 1991, in collaboration with 11 other producers, the brothers helped found the Brazil Specialty Coffee Association (BSCA) - supporting all coffee producers to improve quality and ensure the sustainability of their businesses.
