Summer 2024 was our first visit to Pico Mirante, run by Adolfo Ferreira – we were welcomed like family. It’s hard to explain what makes a great producer-roaster relationship but with Adolfo, we just got that feeling. He’s warm, genuine and it’s clear he really cares – not just about coffee but about people.

Unlike some farms we visited where things felt a bit by-the-book, Pico Mirante stood out. Adolfo treats his team with real respect and they return year after year. There are thoughtful touches everywhere: he’s swapped out petrol-powered harvesters for quiet battery-operated ones and we ended up playing table football with the team while coffee dried on the patios.

Set high above his other farm Passeio, Pico Mirante isn’t some sprawling industrial operation. It’s a stunning steep farm dotted with native forest and natural shade. This farm is one-in-a-million, and it just seemed like a no-brainer that when we cupped his coffee and it tasted fantastic, we couldn’t say no to taking it for our single-origin Brazil option for the foreseeable future.

Nice words from OUR customers

Fabulous full bodied and rich coffee bean

Fabulous full bodied and rich coffee bean, perfect for our taste buds! I usually buy The Truth also wonderful!

Brazil 1kg whole beans

I’ve been ordering the Brazilian coffee beans over the past 3 months . The coffee comes well packed . A beautifully balanced coffee with a smooth and enjoyable character. The Brazilian beans deliver a rich, mellow flavour and a gentle natural sweetness. The aroma is warm and the coffee has a satisfying body without being too heavy.

It is a very easy-drinking coffee, perfect for a morning or any time during the day .

My favourite coffee beans by far

My favourite coffee by far, nutty, chocolately, very rounded. I love buying direct you get the most recently roasted beans. Great service.

Smooth as Brazil

Got a smooth lovely taste and never has disappointed to deliver that smooth taste.

Brazil Whole Beans

Great in an espresso. 18g Brazil, 33g out plus 120ml of steamed milk and you have an intensely coffee flavoured drink with no trace of bitterness. 😀👍

FAQ’S

THINGS PEOPLE ASK US

IS YOUR PACKAGING RECYCLABLE?

Our 200g and 1kg bags are made from recyclable LDPE (plastic #4). Check with your local authority for kerbside collection or recycle at major supermarkets. Our Nespresso-compatible aluminium capsules are also fully recyclable through household recycling or local collection points.

WHAT ROAST LEVELS ARE YOUR COFFEES?

We roast most coffee to an omni profile, which means it suits all brew methods while keeping the unique flavour of each coffee. The exceptions are The Truth, Uprising and The Bold. The Truth and Uprising are roasted for espresso, so they are more developed and soluble. The Bold is roasted darker to bring out richer characteristics alongside the coffee’s flavour.

WHAT GRIND SIZE DO YOU NEED?

Grind size can be tricky as adjusting it helps you get the best extraction. We know not everyone wants to invest in a grinder or fuss with settings. So we’ve simplified options with recommended brew methods:

Filter ground – cafetiere, pour-over filter and long brewed Aeropress
Espresso ground – short brewed Aeropress, moka pot and home espresso machines
