We waited until the last minute to offer it to you. We checked the menus of renowned roasters such as Rubens Gardelli, Coffee Supreme, La Cabara, and Heart Roasters. We're sure we missed some... We defined a slightly lighter espresso roast profile than usual. We accentuated its delicate acidity and silky texture.

THE PRODUCER
Dimas Alves de Almedia inherited his parents' farm in 1895. From this point on, he began as a coffee producer. He planted 3 hectares of Mundo Novo and Catuaí trees. Aware of his limitations, he decided to focus on quality rather than quantity, implementing best agricultural practices.
Today, Dimas' production includes 12 hectares of coffee, achieving an incredible taste and quality.
THE IMPORTER
If we told you that in A Guarda, Pontevedra, you'll find one of the most exceptional importers of green coffee in Europe, would you believe it? Well, it's true! Our relationship with Xorxios dates back to the spring of 2016. At that time, we were looking for an exceptional Brazilian coffee. Fazenda Serra Negra was one of the standouts at the tasting.
Originally, Xorxios focused on a single origin, Brazil, and a single region that pioneered the creation of a designation of origin and traceability for its coffees (Café do Cerrado). Today, Xorxios imports specialty coffees from all over the world.
