About

Fazenda do Sertão is now managed by Nazareth Dias Pereira’s son, Francisco Isidro Dias Pereira, and the extended family. Nazareth died in January 2021 and is remembered as the matriarch of the coffee family in this area of Brazil. She was 96 when she died and leaves a legacy in the farming industry. The farm has approximately 330 hectares planted with a variety of coffee cultivars and an additional 520 hectares with native forest and grazing for Girolando cattle. The farm is located in the heart of Carmo de Minas and this has become prime territory for both coffee and dairy farming. Grupo do Sertão is recognised world-wide in both industries. The Girolando is a mix of the Dutch Holstein Friesian and the Indian Gir which makes a breed that is suited to both milk and meat production in a hot climate. The farm also produces corn and soya. Please see carmocoffees.com.br for more information about Sertão and photos of the coffee processing.

Grind Guide

Cafetière

A coarse grind also suitable for cold brew. We use the word cafetière, but this can also be referred to as a French press, plunger or press pot.

Aeropress slow

Suitable for making a long, filter style coffee, often brewed for a few minutes. Similar to our paper filter setting.

Filter

This is suitable for our paper filters and ceramic or plastic cones, along with other brands such as V60, Clever dripper and Melitta.

Stovetop

This is an espresso style grind suitable for use in hob top espresso pots such as a Bialetti or Grunwerg. Sometimes referred to as a moka pot.

Aeropress fast

This is also an espresso style grind ideal for brewing a short, concentrated, espresso style coffee in an Aeropress.

Domestic espresso

A fine grind for using in your home espresso machine. Grind requirements will vary depending on brand and model, but this setting aims to work for the majority of home setups.

Whole beans

For use in your home grinder!

If you use a different method such as a syphon or Chemex, require a custom grind or need some advice, please get in touch and we will be happy to help.
