The hard business of selling beautiful coffee, part 2

The hard business of selling beautiful coffee, part 2

Volume. Cheap. Lame flavours. This is the traditional way of growing coffee in Brazil, and almost every farm does it this way.

But what if you wanted to produce beautiful, distinctive flavours instead—and make a living from it?

In this episode, we travel to Fazenda Paraíso in Minas Gerais, Brazil, where farmer Vicente Pereira and his daughter are on a steep learning curve finding buyers for their beautiful coffees.

Part 2 explores what it looks like for a small Brazilian farm to find better buyers, and the challenge of achieving pricing power.

Behind every beautiful coffee is a family story like this, but it’s a story we rarely get to see close up.

Let’s take a closer look.
