Producer Yuki Minami was raised on a coffee farm but never thought she would work in the industry. After a career in São Paulo working for multinational agribusiness companies, Yuki realized that her hometown coffee industry needed a representative, so she moved back with her father to pursue the opportunity. In her current role, she works as the CEO of Aequitas Coffee, a producer and exporter. Yuki is building a network for the next generation of farmers of Japanese descent in Cerrado Mineiro, Brazil. This patriotic group is proud of their state and wants nothing more than to see their coffee appear on menus worldwide. They challenge the regional status quo of selling lower-grade commodity coffee by growing and promoting specialty coffee.

We selected this coffee to highlight Yuki’s community-building work in the coffee industry. This coffee is perfect for everyday drinking. It’s sweet, balanced, and chocolate forward, with a kiss of citric acidity. We love this coffee and are sure you will too!

FAQs

Shipping Information

We operate Monday-Friday and strive to ship your order within 2 business days of the order or renewal date (not including weekends.) Your order will be shipped by UPS or USPS to your door. You will receive a tracking notification when your order ships.

Roasting Information

All coffee is roasted fresh to order on our Loring S35 Kestrel Coffee Roaster. All bags are stamped with the roast date, and we think coffee tastes best if consumed within 2-4 weeks. However, if left whole bean and stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, the coffee can remain enjoyable for up to 4-6 months, depending on the bag or container. Most of our coffee is roasted to a medium or light/medium roast level, except for All Day, which is our staple dark roast offering.
