"During the past years, Brazilian producers have been investing into quality. If you have visited Brazil recently, it is evident that many producers are engaging in meticulous procedures in their coffee processing and growing practices. When one producer finds ways to get rewarded for quality and innovative practices, this can have a domino effect on neighboring farms. Hence, the emergence of new specialty regions. Still unknown by many coffee connoisseurs, the region of Espirito Santo, is an upcoming specialty coffee region in Brazil with a varied geography and microclimates. While this region used to mostly grow Coffea Canephora, the mountainous region, with humid and low temperatures, has been seen to produce excellent Arabica coffees with unique cup profiles ... this scenic region, full of high mountains and rock formations, is home to many small producers, where farming is part of a family tradition." - Ally Coffee report, July 2014
