Ethica Espresso

The tradition of coffee production has been in the Barbosa Family since the twentieth century. Mr. Danilo Barbosa's great-grandfather, Elias Barbosa, passed it on to his grandfather, Claudio Barbosa de Paula, and from him to his father, Jairo Barbosa de Paula, and now Mr. Barbosa works with his generation, his sons Vítor Marcelo and Sergio Ricardo. When Danilo says family business he means husband, wife, father, son and daughter-in-law all working together, so the office is like a big home where everybody shares the same dream, supports each other, learns and grows together. The office is located in Carmo do Paranaíba, Estate of Minas Gerais. Danilo's team is composed of ten people, all working together to deliver the best coffee.

From the choice of the varietal to the harvesting season, the Barbosa family works hard to deliver the best coffee. All the processes are closely watched and the Quality Control Team follows all the stages of the traceability program, from the tree to the warehouse, and from the warehouse to the world.

The Cerrado region has all the conditions needed in order to produce specialty coffee. During the dry season humidity is low, temperatures are lower, and the coffee quality is accentuated. Defined seasons, soil, and topography combined with experienced crop management provide everything needed to deliver the best coffee.
