The Paraiso variety, processed naturally and anaerobically, delivers exactly that: a dense, juicy texture with flavours reminiscent of cooked berries, subtle notes of Kahlúa (a rum-coffee liqueur), complemented by an elegant, sparkling wine-like acidity. Paraiso is the result of deliberate breeding, perfectly suited to higher-altitude tropical terroirs. Yet, its true magic comes from the dedication and personal touch of the farmers, who put themselves into this coffee plant — making it a complete and truly wonderful whole.

Just like charm isn’t about perfection but about being yourself. Be authentic. Or as our motto says: “Make your magic moments.”

About the Farm

João and his wife Neneia started building Fazenda Santo Antônio from the ground up in 2002. The farm’s name honours Neneia’s deep religious faith. João comes from a family with generations of coffee growing experience and is equally at home in the field as in the Sancoffee lab, working as a skilled cupper.

In 2008, he helped establish AFASA, a cooperative supporting smallholder farmers with better access to specialty markets. As part of the Beyond Borders program, João’s microlot has become a gem of the region — combining smallholder quality, on-site processing, and terroir to produce a distinctive and memorable coffee.

About the Region

Campo das Vertentes lies at the heart of Minas Gerais, Brazil, where mountainous terrain meets two watershed areas, creating a unique microclimate and fertile soil. Known since the 19th century for its excellent Arabica coffees, the region’s character was shaped by the traditions of the “tropeiros” — mounted muleteers who transported coffee across mountain trails for centuries, deeply influencing the culture and economy of the area. This rich heritage and natural environment give Campo das Vertentes coffees their unique profile, protected by a geographical indication to guarantee quality.
