The Story Behind Ipe Amarelo Minas Gerais 16+

Some coffees are celebrated for their uniqueness. Others earn their place by delivering excellence, season after season. Ipe Amarelo Minas Gerais 16+ was created with the latter in mind.

As StoneX Specialty Coffee's signature Brazil profile, Ipe Amarelo is crafted to provide roasters with a consistently exceptional cup throughout the year and across every harvest. Rather than sourcing from a single farm, we work closely with our trusted partners in Brazil to carefully select lots from Cerrado Mineiro and Sul de Minas that deliver the flavor profile our customers have come to expect.

As part of our Flower Series, Ipe Amarelo reflects our commitment to showcasing the very best of Brazilian coffee. Each harvest is carefully evaluated to ensure every shipment captures the balance, sweetness, and reliability that have made Minas Gerais one of the world's most respected coffee-growing regions.

Brazil is the world's largest coffee producer, combining ideal geography with advanced farming practices to produce remarkable quality and consistency at scale. In Minas Gerais, coffee grows between 800 and 1,300 meters above sea level, where distinct wet and dry seasons create ideal growing conditions.

Most coffees from the region are naturally processed, producing the classic Brazilian cup profile: full-bodied, sweet, approachable, and low in acidity. These qualities make Ipe Amarelo an exceptionally versatile coffee, whether enjoyed as a dependable single origin or as the foundation of a well-balanced blend.
