Literally meaning "grass waterfall" in Portuguese, this coffee will take you to the rainforests of Brazil without leaving your living room!
You'll get notes of black cherry, mixed with chocolate and nuts. Low acidity and very smooth, almost creamy!
We met Gabriel Carvalho Dias a few years back and always wanted to work with his family farm. This amazing natural processed, sustainably grown coffee leaves lingering notes of marzipan, black cherry & toffee. It's rich yet very low in acidity! Perfect for any brew method (even espresso), but really amazes us as a pour over or as a heavy bodied french press.
The Farm:
Fazenda Cachoeira da Grama has been in the Carvalho Family since 1890. Gabriel de Carvalho Dias, the owner, is responsible for the property's management. It is located 3 miles from minas Gerais state line and has characteristics from the mountainous areas of Mogiana and from Sul de Minas. On this farm everything is done manually, which includes coffee plantain and harvesting, since its topography does not allow for any kind of mechanization.
The Environment:
Social and environmental sustainability is considered very important in the farm management. Gabriel has developed a program of planting native species to keep a better ecological balance. The farm has a school, a club and an official size soccer field for the employees'bejefit. There are 48 houses for the employees and their families, all with modern facilities. The wastewater is treated to avoid polluting the stream that runs across the farm.
The altitude of the coffee is between 1000-1250 meters above sea level and precipitation is between 1800-2000mm per year with an average temperature of 19 degrees celsius.Perfect for coffee!
Processing:
Coffee is harvested manually on cloth, preventing the beans from getting in touch with the soil. The harvested coffee is immediately transferred from the productions fields to washers, with the separation of the cherry and the green beans from the dry beans, which are sent to the terrace to dry. The cherry and the green beans are processed by the coffee pulper, where the cherry beans are pulped and separated from the green coffee.
The coffee is dried under the sun on paved patios until dry, or on a second option, until the beans reach 20% humidity when the coffee is transferred to driers to reduce humidity to 11%. Subsequently, coffee is stored is warehouse, in wood silos, with low humidity level and free from doors that can affect coffee.
Here is a great article on why we believe traceability is more important than certification:
It's simple: roast then blend some of our FAVs (favourites), resulting in a cup of coffee that is full flavoured, complex and rich, but not overpowering. Notes of cocoa,semi-sweet chocolate followed by a hint of citrus, and a full body mouthfeel. Each bean is unique and amazing when brewed on their own, but when you combine certain characteristics of those beans with calculated ratios, you get one of the best combinations of flavours you'll ever have!
This bean blend can also be used for espresso extraction. It's out most labour intensive to produce because we roast each type of bean separately, then post blend them in certain pre-measured portions to produce this excellent cup! The fun part is that our high-quality coffee is seasonal, so each season we work with our specialty coffee suppliers to achieve a similar flavour profile using the beans that are in season and of the highest standard for quality.
The current blend is made up of the following high grown, small batch coffees:

Regular price

The name of this coffee honours the first president of the CoopeAgri El General R.L. Don Claudio sought to increase producers’ participation in the value chain and free coffee trading from the exclusive domination of private enterprise. The creation of CoopeAgri in November 1962 has led to an unusually resilient and unique presence in the surrounding community and has established CoopeAgri as a force for growth in southern Costa Rica. In tandem with Fairtrade-funded projects, CoopeAgri has expanded from a small coffee processing operation to its own cupping laboratory, as well as a range of activities, including producing and marketing organic manure on a commercial scale. The co-op also manages programs to improve the environment, from reforestation to educational initiatives as part of its long-term strategy for sustainable development. CoopeAgri is so embedded in the daily life of its community, its reach extends not only to its own café, but to six supermarkets, a convenience store, two agricultural supply stores, a fuel station, a hardware store and a medical clinic. The largest cooperative in Costa Rica, CoopeAgri represents more than 8,000 members and employs over 700 permanent and temporary workers. In this process, the handpicked cherry is delivered to drop-off points for collection (saving smallholder farmers considerable time and expense) and taken to a nearby eco-friendly mill, where processing methods have been carefully designed to protect the environment. To reduce water use and the amount of excess nutrients in water runoff from the mill, centrifugal force is used to remove mucilage instead of fermentation. Parchment is washed and mechanically dried. Beans for this coffee are grown by producers farming an average of 1.3 ha. in the Chirripó Mountain area, the highest in Central America.

Hoodwinked • Swiss Water® Decaf
Regular price

Look for herbal notes and dark chocolate.
When using as an espresso you get citrus and cherry, plus those herbal notes again, as well as a bonus treacle-like mouthfeel. This marvel performs just as well as a straight shot as it does in a large latte.
Currently, these are the origins that make up this unique decaf blend:
O-JOE Sumatra is one of our heaviest bodies, yet low acid coffee. The aroma is nutty with a slight earthiness, combined with hints of vanilla and even sweet pipe tobacco .

Mastro Giuseppe's Espresso Blend • complex medium roast
Regular price
$6.00
After 6 years of roast profile study, O-JOE has decided to produce an exclusive blend of coffee that provides the right combination of nuts, fruit, crema and a silky body for espresso extraction.
With a Brazilian coffee from Cachoeira da Grama in Mogiana as it's base, O-JOE strategically roasts each bean separately to bring out their best characteristics, then blends them with origins from Africa, Indonesia & Latin America to create a coffee with the aromas of nuts, fruit and an incredible créma.
Macchina • Medium Roast for Automatic Espresso Machines (Non-oily)
Regular price
$6.00
If you own a fully automatic espresso machine such as a Saeco, Breville, Jura or Miele, it is written in your owner's manual to avoid using coffee beans that are very oily. It's a fact that all of the flavour of coffee comes from oils created during the roasting process, but the darker one goes with the roast, the more oily the beans become on the surface. When those oils are on the surface, they tend to clog the working parts of a fully automatic machine a lot quicker than the recommended regular usage.
However, most fully automatic espresso machine customers want to get maximum flavour, without damaging their machines. We created a special blend of heavy bodied coffees, with low acidity, incredible créma and notes of nuts, chocolate & sweet rustic walnuts. This blend will showcase the best in your fully automatic espresso machine while keeping external oils to a minimum.
Colombia • Medium Roast
Regular price
$6.00
Medium Roast
At Carolina’s Colombia we are focused on growing our coffee beans using traditional methods. On our farm, shade-grown trees produce a superior bean and they also provide a valuable habitat for migratory birds, wildlife and other endangered species.
Most importantly, they are our beans, which means we control all aspects of their growth and harvest including:
Land selection
Genetic origin
Worker selection
Weeding without the use of herbicides
Procedures for picking, fermenting, washing, selecting, drying and husking
Transport and storage
By managing all aspects of process we can guarantee consistent quality of our beans from land to shelf.
Benefits of Shade-Grown Beans:
Taste: Shaded conditions create a cooler setting and, like coffee grown at higher altitudes, the growth of the bean is slower. This creates a denser, harder bean, and that is what roasters and coffee experts look for in quality coffee.
Provides bird habitat and greater biodiversity: Shade-grown helps generate more biodiversity, and leads to a more stable ecosystem. The forest provides a safe habitat for birds that eat insect larvae, and in turn, reducing the need for pesticide use. It also offers support for more bees that help pollinate the coffee plants. On that note, yes we also import the unique flavoured Honey produced by local artisanal apiculturists.
Helps sustain rainforests: Coffee plantations that are chemically dependent suffer from soil depletion and increased erosion. The rainforest is stripped to provide fresh growing ground. Shaded coffee farms are, for the most part, organic and sustainable. The canopy is constantly dropping natural biomass to the plantation soil … thus maintaining complete sub-soil ecosystems.
Benefits of High Altitude Grown Beans
Our farm is at 1,400 meters above sea level and our coffee is considered “high altitude” grown. High altitude reduces the quantity yielded but results in more desirable flavour.
Benefits of Hand selected beans
Experienced pickers know to only select the ripe beans from each plant at each of numerous passes over two months. They also know how to remove the fruit without damaging stems and leaves. This is especially in contrast to high yield – lower quality machine-harvested beans.
Sumatra • MEDIUM ROAST • Organic & Fair Trade
Regular price
$6.50
O-JOE Sumatra : The aroma is Floral, fruity, sweet rustic walnuts, with hints of vanilla and even sweet pipe tobacco .
When tasting this coffee roasted medium (almost to dark roast but not quite) you will get a Rich, lush, smooth, black cherry, tobacco, chocolate, and well balanced coffee. Sumatra coffee is known for its ultra-low acidity!
Arisarina is a coffee producer cooperative established in 2013, located in the highlands of Gayo Aceh Province in Sumatra. The cooperative has a common goal to improve the quality of coffee that grows in the Gayo highlands, as well as maintain and preserve the ecosystem as a place to grow the high quality coffee. This region is considered one of the biggest arabica coffee regions in south east Asia. The plantation is 100% managed by local farmers, and Arisarina is composed of 2494 members
We wanted to offer another dark roast coffee option that has body, some richness and deep flavour, but lighter than our other dark roasts. If you are looking for a blend that is strong, but not harsh, or are just starting to appreciate darker roasted coffees, this is the blend for you! José Latino is our Latin American dark Roast!
The Guatemalan coffee is Crisp and nutty, with notes of cocoa/dark chocolate. The combination of both the spice from the Mexican Chiapas and the nuttiness from the Guatemalan beans make this an enjoyable Dark roasted blend.

RECREO in Spanish Mean "Playtime", and that's what we did when we created this single origin blend from Sierra Nevada, Santa Marta, Colombia. First roasted a batch of these beans to medium, then another batch to dark, and finally, we post-blended them to create a coffee that full flavoured, but not over-the-top.

Washing process description (if applicable)
Fully ripped & freshly picked cherries are picked under close supervision. Before pulping, cherries are sorted to remove unsuitable one, clean cherries are pulped fermented and washed and then dried to achieve appropriate 11.5% moisture level.
Drying method (patio, raised bed, machine etc.)
Red cherries are dried on raised drying table. The coffee cherries are allowed to dry up to about 11.5% moisture. Once the coffee is dried to the appropriate moisture level it will be processed to have the green been. This is further sorted to make it fit for export market.
The location of the coop is in the heart of the growing areas in Huehue. From the City of Huehue it takes about 2 hours to get to the down and requires a 4x4 truck. Using the word rough to describe the road is an understatement.
The average farm size in the region is about 1 hectare.
All the coffee processed individually by each farmer and therefore sun dried in small batches one each farm. You can see in one of the pictures that every bit of flat spaces is used to dry the coffee, even the roof tops.
As the coop is on a slightly north facing side of the range the cool nights mean that the coffee is fermented for longer periods of time ranging up to 48 hours.

Pepe's MEZZA STORTO • Half-Caffeine Blend

With respect to coffee, "mezzo storto" means that it tastes like the freshest coffee with some of the most complex flavours you'll ever taste, but it has 50% LESS caffeine than everything else we offer. You will be so amazed that an organic Swiss Water® decaf processed coffee blended with Rainforest Alliance® certified beans from Brazil could actually have reduced caffeine - the look on your face after tasting this blend should be "mezza storto".
