Igarape

In the Summer 2019, the Amazon Rainforest saw an historic surge in wildfires. Those fires destroyed hectares of precious rainforest, and had a negative impact not only on global warming, but also on the local wildlife, water cycles and the population of the Amazon. By purchasing Brazil Igarapé Rainforest beans, you are supporting the Institute for the Conservation and Sustainable Development of the Amazon (IDESAM). For every container of Igarape sold, our green coffee partner donates more than $5,300 per container of Igarapé to IDESAM, which covers for the protection and replantation of one hectare of rainforest in the area. The Igarapé coffee has been carefully selected from four different farms from Alta Paranaíba in the Cerrado region. With only 40 years in the coffee industry, Cerrado is one of the youngest growing regions in Brazil. The selection of the farms was not only based on the cup profile of their coffee, but also on its long-term availability. Igarapé is a medium to long-term engagement; the coffee has to be available in the next few years.
