The Story Behind Cerrado Mineiro NY 2 17/18 Fine Cup

Brazil Cerrado Fine Cup 17/18 Specialty Green Coffee Beans from Mercon Specialty

Cerrado Mineiro was the first coffee-producing region in Brazil to receive a Designation of Origin (D.O.), recognizing its unique terroir and commitment to quality. Every coffee carrying the Cerrado Mineiro D.O. seal is verified by the region's Regulatory Board and can be traced back to the producing farm through a unique QR code, providing exceptional transparency from producer to roaster.

Located in the northwest of Minas Gerais, Cerrado Mineiro benefits from elevations between 800 and 1,300 meters above sea level, fertile soils, and distinct wet and dry seasons that create ideal growing conditions. Combined with modern farming practices and careful post-harvest processing, these conditions produce coffees renowned for their consistency, balanced sweetness, rich cocoa notes, and smooth, clean finish.
