Brewing Tips
Farroupilha Farm is easy to work with and brews well with conventional coffee recipes.
- This coffee has a creamy body, and should be beautifully balanced once dialled in. Compared to some of our other single origins, there is slightly less acidity and fruity sweetness to this coffee, with more honey and nutty flavours.
- We prefer a shorter yield than a conventional 1:2 recipe for this coffee to bring out its sweetness without sacrificing the mouthfeel.
- This coffee makes a lovely espresso, and can also be paired with milk!
For Espresso:
21.5g in, 36g out at 25-28 seconds

In 1976 Inacio Carlos Urban, at that time 25 years old, arrived in Cerrado Mineiro region, in Patos de Minas city, with a lot of determination and willpower to fulfil the dream of producing food on a large scale to feed the world. Inacio saw in lands until then considered unproductive, the chance to make his dream of producing a reality. Inacio managed to make the land prosper and change the future of agribusiness in this region. Today, Farroupilha Farm works developing responsible agro.
