We connected with Marcos and Felipe Croce, the Brazilian Father/Son duo of Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza (FAF), when they visited their part-time home of Skokie, Illinois in 2024. We were inspired by their incredible eco-friendly initiatives, and instantly felt unified with their passion for sustainability-- both socially and environmentally.
This coffee, straight from their personal farm in Mogiana, is organic and naturally-processed, using agroforestry regenerative farming principles.
We found lots of layers in the offering- an expected nuttiness, complex fruit notes we described as tropical punch, and delicate florals reminiscent of lavender.
We're excited to release this first offering in our partnership with FAF, and look forward to working with our neighbors, Felipe and Marcos, in the years to come!
This very limited Brazil is now available at all Backlot locations, and available online soon!
