OUR BRAND VALUES*

This high grade Arabica is truly exceptional. A South American special. Smooth and rich with a creamy, nutty and sweet aftertaste - you'll enjoy this any time but it's a fantastic finish to any meal. Isaltino Caixeta and his family run the Gerezim Farm in central Brazil.

OUR COMMITMENTS*

Sustainability

The Caixeta family have worked with local people to offer well paid year-round jobs and housing. The farm is producing better and better coffee, improving quality and price to generate better income for the family and their workers.

Environment

At the Caixeta family farm 25% of their land is not farmed but designated for permanent preservation of rainforest and protection of precious habitat for various species. Over 5,000 native trees have been planted to avoid soil erosion and increase sub-soil moisture. This helps protect water sources and habitat, producing an increase of wildlife, especially birds. All hunting and predatory practices have been banned within the famly properties, giving in positive results for a number of species.

Local Communities

The Caixeta family have worked with local people to offer well paid year-round jobs and housing. Isaltino is also a local church pastor giving time to his local community and running various community action projects.
