About this coffee…

Mió is a coffee farm in Monte Santo de Minas, Brazil, that exports, imports, stores, and sells coffee. Its 1,589 hectare coffee farm is nestled in the municipality of Monte Santo de Minas, Brazil, and includes coffee trees, processing and milling facilities, native forest reserve, some pasture areas and a plantation of eucalyptus trees (home to some lovely bees). The farm is located between the two distinct terrains of southern Minas Gerais and the high Mogiana region, each bringing different characteristics to Mió's coffee.The land is divided between a Eucalyptus tree plantation, pasture areas, a native forest reserve, coffee processing and milling facilities and the all important coffee trees. With a plentiful supply of spring water on the estate, one of Mió's responsibilities is to not only mainatin the water flow, but also improve water quality.

Mió pride themselves on a 100% traceability guarantee for the entire crop every year. Each stage of the journey, from where the cherries were harvested, which trucks moved them, how and when they were processed, is tracked using satellite imagery. Being a technology-driven farm improves the farmworkers’ quality of life as it ensures an abundant harvest and guarantees which is reinvested into the local community and also higher wages, it also results in the highest processing standards for the crop.
