Brazil Toribia Cachoeira Sucuri Farms Coffee

Why This Coffee Matters

Brazil Toribia represents harmony — both in name and in cup. Derived from the Tupi-Guarani Indigenous language, Toribia means “peace, joy, and happiness,” which beautifully captures the spirit behind this coffee’s creation.

Crafted by the Barbosa family, one of Brazil’s most respected multi-generational coffee producers, Toribia reflects decades of dedication to innovation, sustainability, and family-led excellence. The family’s mission has always been simple but profound: to elevate Cerrado Mineiro as a global benchmark for quality, sustainability, and consistency.

This coffee comes from the family’s Cachoeira and Sucuri farms, both located within the Cerrado Mineiro region — Brazil’s first coffee-growing area to receive a Designation of Origin (DO) status. It is part of their continuing journey to merge traditional expertise with cutting-edge processing techniques, creating coffees that are as emotionally resonant as they are technically refined.

Origin & Processing

• Region: Cachoeira & Sucuri Farms, Cerrado Mineiro, Brazil
• Elevation: 1045–1100 m asl
• Varietal: Red Catuai
• Process: Natural Fermented
• Recommended Roast: Medium & Signature (Medium roast enhances apple-like acidity and sweetness; Signature roast deepens chocolate and nutty undertones, offering a richer, more layered profile.)

The Cerrado Mineiro plateau, known for its rolling landscapes and distinct dry–wet seasonal cycle, creates a stable and uniform climate ideal for coffee cultivation. The naturally fertile soil, high altitude, and consistent sunlight result in a clean, sweet cup with balanced acidity.

The Natural Fermented process at Barbosa’s farms involves meticulous cherry selection and controlled fermentation, allowing sugars to fully develop before drying. This technique enhances body and sweetness, while preserving clarity and smoothness — a hallmark of their processing excellence.

Sustainability & Craft

The Barbosa family’s legacy is built on sustainability and innovation. Through their advanced irrigation systems, renewable drying facilities, and careful soil management, they maintain both quality and ecological balance. Their commitment extends beyond coffee production — supporting local communities through employment, education, and fair compensation.

At Cachoeira and Sucuri Farms, female participation and generational continuity play an essential role. Women lead several aspects of the farm management and processing teams, ensuring equal opportunities and skill development across roles.

Each harvest is a collaborative celebration, where innovation meets human dedication — embodying Cerrado Mineiro’s reputation for traceable, transparent, and ethically cultivated coffees.
