This lot is traceable to a single estate in the Matas de Minas region, which is known for its rolling hills and uneven terrain lending to small- to medium-sized farms. The Dutra Family started planting coffee in the region over 50 years ago and has grown the estate to nearly 2,500 acres with 10 distinct farms where coffee cherry from 3 million coffee trees is harvested by hand by more than 600 seasonal workers. While this estate seems big, it is relatively small to medium by Brazilian standards, which has allowed the Dutra family to focus on specialty grade, fully traceable lots for direct trade relationships. But we don’t want to downplay the big things happening at Fazenda Dutra, which includes a passion for sustainability. Solar energy is significant at this Fazenda, where all de-de-de-pulpers run on solar power, and mechanical dryers are next on the agenda for this clean energy conversion. The estate also boasts nearly 750 acres of native forest to protect water sources and create natural barriers to protect the coffee trees from wind and erosion. The Dutra family also takes their role as an employer very seriously, with big investments in a school located at the estate and a health care program for employees and their families.

Why Organic?

At TBC, we believe that building a community around coffee begins with the tireless and passionate pursuit of Quality. This starts with the amazing certified Organic coffees we source. We choose Organic because it is a Way that is holistic in approach. We have seen up close and personal the difference between Organic and conventional farming methods. Certified Organic provides transparency at every point in the supply chain from farm to cup. No diesel fumes on the coffee at the port, no bug bombs in the shipping containers, no oil-stained transport trucks. It is a completely different and separate chain that is always protected from toxic chemicals. This long-term sustainable approach is not driven by short term profits, or maximizing yields, rather it is concerned with producing the purest highest Quality agricultural products without extracting a devastating toll on the environment. We all have a choice, continue to support harmful pesticide-laden conventional farming and processing methods that fuel the existential threat of Climate Change, or chose a Way that is dedicated to clean water, clean soil, healthy workers, and thriving biodiversity. After our very first coffee sourcing trip to origin, the choice for us was simple. We will seek only the finest certified Organic coffees from around the world. TBCs Mission is Quality, Community, and Sustainability. You have our word that we will do our very best, every day, to live this Mission. - William Trager, Founder
