Fazenda Furnas
Experience the exquisite richness of this Brazilian coffee, a symphony of robust body and rustic notes. Delight in barley malt's warmth, the velvety touch of chocolate, and the bittersweet essence reminiscent of black tea.
Fazenda Furnas, a sprawling 80-hectare estate nestled in the Pedralva region of Carmo de Minas, is the brainchild of Rinaldo Junqueira. Perched at an impressive altitude of 1300 meters in the highlands, the farm predominantly cultivates Yellow Bourbon and Catuai coffee varieties, painting the landscape with their vibrant presence.
Nestled within Fazenda Furnas lies a contemporary infrastructure, complete with an eco-conscious water recycling system. This innovative setup collects coffee processing water in an onsite pond, subsequently rejuvenating the fields through sustainable irrigation. The featured lot, a product of the natural processing method, thrives in the optimal climate of the region.
