About this Product
These delicious decaffeinated Brazil coffee beans have notes of milk chocolate, roasted hazelnut with a red apple sweetness and a gentle citrus acidity. There is also a rich, creamy body, round mouthfeel, and a clean cocoa-sweet finish and no caffeine.
This lot comes to us from Diogo Dias Teixeira de Macedo - a fifth generation producer whose commitment to quality is anything but subtle. With an agricultural engineering background and seven placements in the prestigious Cup of Excellence, Diogo blends technical precision with deep family roots.
His family’s farm, Fazenda Recreio, spans 605 hectares, with 240 dedicated to coffee. The rest of the land supports cattle, citrus, and eucalyptus, a diversified ecosystem that reflects thoughtful stewardship rather than monoculture intensity.
Located near São Sebastião da Grama, often regarded as the birthplace of Brazil’s speciality coffee movement, Recreio has helped shape the country’s quality-driven reputation. Their excellence isn’t accidental. Since stepping in as manager in 2000, Diogo has modernised wet-processing systems, invested heavily in lot traceability, and refined every detail from harvest to export. Harvest begins in mid-May, when cherries hit peak ripeness. Due to the region’s topography, picking is done by hand over cloths, selective, and quality-focused.
Despite the tech upgrades, tradition runs deep here. Coffee has been grown by the Dias family since 1890. Back then, the farm operated like a small village, housing workers and their families in structured colônias. Recreio continues this legacy today, maintaining 68 furnished homes for staff, a rare and meaningful commitment in modern coffee production. To look after the needs of their community, the family have built a school for the children of their staff, a clinic, a church, a computer lab and a football field. They also take great care to preserve the natural resources around them, completing their UTZ certification, preserving areas of natural forest and vegetation and reclaiming nearby springs and water sources.
