Abaetê – Campos Altos Village

Abaetê is a coffee blend that embodies the long-standing relationship between Mercanta and Bourbon Specialty Coffees, a partnership built through years of collaboration, mutual trust and a shared commitment to quality. The name is drawn from Tupi, an indigenous language of Brazil, and means “strong man” and “good man”, a reflection of the honesty and trustworthiness that underpin any meaningful friendship. The accompanying logo depicts the cross-section of a tree trunk, whose rings symbolise the passage of time, encircling a coffee bean at its centre, representing the starting point of the relationship.

Abaetê – Campos Altos Village

This coffee is sourced from Campos Altos Village in Minas Gerais, Brazil, drawing on coffee from four farms.

Fazenda 3 Irmãos, run by Adérito Salgado de Oliveira, spans 98 hectares (70 under coffee) at 1,110m and yields around 3,000 bags a year; its story began when the current custodian moved to Ibiá at just 17 to lease a small plot, later joined by his two brothers to buy their first farm together, hence the name “Três Irmãos”.

Fazenda Chapadão 2 Irmãos, belonging to brothers Eduardo and Geraldo Andrade, covers 180 hectares (100 under coffee) at 1,200m, producing roughly 3,700 bags annually; the land has been in the family for generations, though the brothers only took up coffee themselves after their family could not afford to send them to university.

Fazenda Horizonte, managed by José Maria Domingos Júnior, covers 163 hectares (27 under coffee) and was acquired around eleven years ago with quality production specifically in mind.

Fazenda Água Limpa, run by Adriano de Senna Ramos, is the largest of the four at 162 hectares (130 under coffee) at 1,050m, producing some 9,000 bags a year; it has been in the family since 1995, passing from father to son in 2007.

About Brazil

Coffee was introduced to the country back in the early 18th century, which rapidly spread throughout Brazil, making it the leading producer of coffee worldwide.

Additionally, Brazil is the only country to utilize mechanized harvesting tools to assist with the extensive coffee fields. The flat topography of the country allows for the ease of machines to slowly comb through the coffee trees and remove ripe cherries. Advanced agricultural technology has allowed for the even harvesting of cherries and prevents uneven harvesting.

Today, the well-known coffee producing regions are Espirito Santo, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Bahia.
