Brazil: Jaguara

The story of Jaguara started in 2001 when Antonio Wander, a dedicated agronomist and researcher, together with 2 other agronomists, started their first coffee plantation. In 2013, the daily management was taken over by Antonio's son, André Luiz, together with his wife Natália.

They introduced innovative and sustainable cultivation techniques to optimize their production and ensured that the plantation became more sustainable. For example, they practice agroforestry, where trees and other plants improve the environment of the plantation, and they have been completely self-sufficient in terms of electricity since 2021 through the installation of solar panels. At the same time, they invest in the well-being of their employees and their children.  

Located in the Campo das Vertentes, an area historically known for its gold mining, the 90-hectare Jaguara farm focuses on producing natural coffees. These coffees are distinguished by their rich flavors of chocolate and plum, coupled with outstanding sweetness.

Jaguara has become a center for innovation and development, launching numerous impactful projects. This spirit of innovation and commitment culminated in 2019 when the farm participated in the Cup of Excellence for the first time, earning a remarkable fifth place with one of their micro-batches, scoring 90.47 points, among the top coffees of Brazil.

The farm actively pursues quality improvement through various fermentation techniques, including both anaerobic and aerobic processes. They experiment with different fermentation environments such as barrels, polypropylene bags, drying boxes, and tanks, creating unique and distinctive flavor profiles.
