Pellervo Dark - Brazilian dark roast coffee

Pellervo - Brazilian medium roast coffee from Fazenda Cruzeiro

Chocolate • Nutty • Berry

This medium roast coffee from Brazil offers a smooth and sweet cup, also highlighting the nuttiness typical of Brazilian coffee. Especially as an espresso, the sweetness of berry juice comes to the fore, but as a filter coffee, Pellervo is a sure choice for those who enjoy a balanced, chocolaty coffee – both black and with milk.

About the origin of Pellervo

The history of Fazenda Cruzeiro dates back to 1923, when Avelino Ferreira de Aguiar and Maria Julia de Paiva Aguiar were married. Both came from traditional families in the municipality of Santo Antônio do Amparo. As a farmer and coffee grower, Avelino excelled by striving for constant development in his business. He was one of the first in the entire region to have electricity, a telephone line, and running water in his household. Avelino was also a pioneer who installed a coffee processing machine, which was very advanced for that time.

The current owner, Ivan Junqueira Ribeiro, bought the shares of his mother, uncles, and aunts and reunited the farm in 2006. Ivan and his brothers spent their weekends and holidays at Fazenda Cruzeiro with their grandparents from a young age. Ivan wanted to continue the operations on the farm to keep his family's memories alive, to invest in an alternative business, and to offer his daughters the same good experiences he had on the farm as a child.
