How did we get here?

This project is the culmination of a year of obsessive development and discovery from our roasting team. We worked tirelessly to offer you a bean that would be bold and powerful while still having the characteristically well balanced flavors that Mikko strives to achieve. These high quality beans are roasted to the perfect level to offer a delicious cup of coffee with all methods of brewing from espresso to filter as well as super automatic machines.

The Barbosa Family

The tradition of coffee production has been in the Barbosa Family since the twentieth century.  Mr. Barbosa’s great-grandparent Elias Barbosa passed it on to his grandfather Claudio Barbosa de Paula and from him to his father, Jairo Barbosa de Paula and now Mr. Barbosa works with his generation and his sons Vítor Marcelo and Sergio Ricardo. When Danilo says family business, he means husband, wife, father, son, and daughter in law all working together. The office feels like an extension of home, where everybody shares the same dream, supports each other, learns and grows together. The office is located in Carmo do Paranaíba, Estate of Minas Gerais, with a team of ten people working towards producing the best coffee.

The Rioki Estate, situated on the southern slopes of the Aberdare Ranges in Kenya, is known for its rich volcanic soils and high altitudes. Beans from this estate are handpicked and meticulously washed to ensure exceptional cup quality. The estate’s processing methods preserve the intrinsic qualities of the beans, offering a clean and vibrant flavor profile.
