Cultivating Specialty Coffee in Brazil
Sustainability permeates every facet of our coffee production at Ebru Coffee—efforts which began years ago on our farm in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Focused on quality and environmental care from conception, this farm was one of our first efforts to integrate sustainable practices into our operations.
With climate change eliciting inconsistent rainfall and consequently, a lessened water supply, we sought a change in our water management system. To ensure a steady water supply throughout the year, our innovative system includes rainwater catchment areas and storage ponds. In addition, water used in the de-pulping process of our Black Honey coffee beans is recycled through a closed-loop system in our power generation setup. Once this process is complete, our local farmers collect this nutrient-rich water, using it to naturally fertilize our coffee plants, which helps to reduce our reliance on artificial fertilizers.
