Large volumes with consistency, nice cup profile for espresso About SanCoffee “Sancoffee is located in the town of Santo Antônio do Amparo and it’s 20 members in the municipality of Santo Antônio (or a neighbouring one) in the northern part formerly known as Sul de Minas. For this reason, the region “Campo dos Vertentes” is becoming a new denomination of origin. The farms range between 70 and +1,000 hectares. In Brazilian standards, a mid-sized farm is ±100ha, the average is ±200ha and +1,000 is very large.” Sancoffee was born in 2000 out of a dream shared by a group of coffee growers located around the town of Santo Antonio do Amparo, State of Minas Gerais. Very early, these growers had a vision for the nascent specialty coffee market and for advancing coffee farming in the region. With great support and encouragement from Mr Fernando Paiva, pioneer of specialty coffees in Campo das Vertentes since the ’60s, these producers acquired a warehouse and founded the cooperative. Over time, this infra-structure has evolved to state-of-the-art, automated, dry milling machinery and warehousing solutions. Since its inception, Sancoffee has been a major driving force for the development of specialty coffee in the Campo das Vertentes region. Deeply inserted in the local community, Sancoffee is a proud supporter of initiatives to generate progress and prosperity through the coffee business. Along with the member farms, the coop is engaged in several projects aiming social and environmental responsibility to ensure the sustainability of the coffee activity in the long term. As a result of these efforts, Sancoffee has been awarded the B-Corp seal in 2019. In commercial terms, Sancoffee has always been guided by transparency and trust, resulting in long-lasting relationships around the world, with most customers over 10 years. Nowadays, consistency, innovation, integrity, stewardship and transparency, still govern the actions of Sancoffee, seeking to constantly adapt to new market trends and using coffee as a carrier to create a better life for all those involved.
