Our Brazil coffee partner, SMC, initiated a coffee program in 2018 focusing on empowering women coffee producers with plenty of support on pre- and post-harvest agronomical training to elevate the coffee quality from the female producers. This program, Donas do Café (Women of Coffee) celebrates farms where women play an active leadership role, whether as owners, managers of post-harvest processing, quality control or any other area. For the first iteration of this product, we invited some of our customers and all our team members to select their favourite coffees on the table, and Beija Flor – named after the Portuguese word for “hummingbird”, was the winner of the selections.
This is a naturally processed single origin coffee from Brazil provided by 4 women producers: Idivane Araújo, Ciomara de Carvalho, Julia Ribeiro do Valle & Carmen Lúcia Chaves de Brito. The selection of these 4 coffee producers is based on the size of farm and the harmony of coffee flavour profile. It is necessary to have one bigger coffee farm to provide enough volume to blend with small coffee producers. Without doing so, most of the smaller coffee producers would be neglected and might end up selling their coffee into commodity market even though they produce really good quality of coffee.
Beija Flor is a layered coffee with a lot of sweetness. It’s a naturally processed coffee since it is the most sustainable way for the producers to process due to limited infrastructure and uses the least amount of water in processing. The varieties in this year’s Beija Flor are red & yellow catuaí, and yellow catucaí.

A Commitment to Excellence

Championing speciality coffee from every angle, at every step of the journey. Starting at the source and working with the seasons. Holding ourselves accountable to the highest standards of social and environmental performance. Every sip of our coffee is a result of years of dedication to seasonality, provenance and sustainability.

Producer

Women’s performance in coffee has grown exponentially over the last few years, with the demand for women-produced coffee increasing at the same rate. Beija Flor demonstrates the success of female producer's incredible work, proving that women are more than capable of not only leading their businesses, but inspiring others, opening up worthy space in the speciality coffee market.

Origin

The world’s largest coffee producer, Brazil has huge influence in the global coffee market. Although producing more than a third of the world’s coffee, the growing conditions here can be challenging; producers not only have to manage the lower-than-optimal altitudes and non-volcanic soils, but also extreme climate conditions, from drought, to frost. Typically low in acidity, sweet, and heavy-bodied, Brazillian coffee is often easily distinguished and well-loved thanks to its approachable, desirable notes of chocolate and nuts.

“Beija Flor aims to empower and celebrate female producers, supporting a platform that enables them to sell their high-quality coffee to speciality roasters, rather than on the commodity market. We work with some incredible women, and their knowledge and passion for exceptional coffee production is inspiring.”

Lovely smooth coffee
I've subscribed to Beija Flor for around a year now. I'm no coffee connoisseur, so won't waffle on about what motes it tastes like, or what aromas are given off, I just know, I can get a fantastic (consistent) tasting coffee on a daily basis....I'm just hoping the uocoming replacement is not too different in profile.
