This naturally processed coffee comes from Fazenda Santa Maria near Santa Rita do Sapucaí in Brazil. The farm is managed by Maria Dorotéia and has been in her family for over 150 years. Set at elevations ranging from 800 to 1,200 meters, the farm cultivates Red Catuaí, Rubi, Arara, Catucaí, and decades-old Mundo Novo varieties across 120 hectares. The lot features layers of cocoa, raw sugar, and dried date in the dry fragrance. When brewed, it opens with molasses-like sweetness, notes of almond bars, chocolate pistachio, banana walnut bread, and a hint of Sherry. The farm practices sustainable farming, producing organic fertilizer from straw, ash, and manure, and planting ground cover to nurture soil health.
Inheritance Coffee Roasters is an artisanal micro roastery in Pensacola, Florida, roasting fresh weekly in small batches with an emphasis on quality over volume. The company partners with Sweet Maria's, a specialty green coffee importer, to source single origin beans that showcase distinct flavor profiles from each growing region. Inheritance operates a coffee cart that serves downtown Pensacola and travels to Mobile, Destin, and the 30A corridor, bringing its roasts directly to customers outside of a traditional café setting. The focus throughout is on transparent sourcing and precise roasting, letting the character of each lot come through without embellishment.
