This Brazilian gem has fascinated us since the very first roast. It was one of the coffees that turned heads at Roast Fest 2025, leaving a lasting impression on everyone who tasted it.
The farm Santo Inacio e Buritis is owned by Marco Antonio da Silva, who chose this land for its generous altitude of 1080 m and rich, fertile soil. Soon after acquiring it, he invested in drip irrigation, state-of-the-art equipment, and began the farm certification process — steps that elevated both quality and environmental integrity.
His vision quickly bore fruit:
•🥉 2021: 3rd place for Best Fermented Coffee within his cooperative
•🥈 2023: 2nd place for Natural Coffee
•🥉 2023: 3rd place in the ELAS Competition (Cerrado region)
Beyond awards, what inspires us most is Mauricio’s commitment to sustainability — from rainwater-fed irrigation and solar energy to planting native trees that protect the land and biodiversity.
We roast this coffee light to reveal its stunning personality: complex, funky layers of licorice, berries, and cacao, a velvety mouthfeel, and a lingering, pleasant aftertaste. Many anaerobic-processed coffees can feel bold but unbalanced — this one is different. Marquinhos is both exciting and remarkably drinkable, a coffee that keeps inviting you back, cup after cup.
We only have two sacks of this beauty — so let’s savor it while it’s here!
