Brazil Mogiana Coffee: A Committed Single-Origin Arabica
Hailing from the São Paulo state in Brazil, the Brazil Alisios coffee beans come from the Mogiana region, a historic centre of coffee cultivation nurtured by the Serra do Ciganos cooperative. This area, named after the Companhia Mogiana de Estradas de Ferro railway established in 1883, played a crucial role in the growth of Brazilian coffee by linking plantations to export ports. Situated between the Atlantic Rainforest and the Brazilian Cerrado, Mogiana offers rolling hills and a diverse climate, where the interplay of humid and dry zones creates an ideal environment for coffee plants. The plentiful sunshine enhances leaf photosynthesis, allowing the beans to develop slowly and richly in aroma. This single-origin Mogiana Arabica is renowned for its harmonious balance and complex flavour profile. Additionally, it holds the Fresh Coffee Clean Ocean (FCCO) certification, ensuring a commitment to quality alongside environmentally responsible and socially conscious production practices.
Sustainable Coffee Delivered by Wind-Powered Sailing
This sustainably produced coffee, certified Fresh Coffee Clean Ocean, is transported exclusively by the Anemos cargo sailboat operated by TOWT. Powered entirely by wind, it crosses the Atlantic without relying on fossil fuels, providing an eco-friendly alternative to traditional shipping methods. This approach cuts CO2 emissions by 75%, demonstrating a firm commitment to environmentally responsible coffee. Unlike conventional container ships, sailing reduces noise pollution, helping to safeguard marine life. By embracing renewable energy, this environmentally conscious coffee avoids dependence on oil and large shipping companies, representing a deliberate choice to enjoy coffee that honours the planet at every step. The sailing route links the Brazilian coast to the port of Le Havre, embodying a slower, fairer approach to trade. Every cup of this dedicated coffee carries the value of time, care, and conviction.

Green Lion Coffee
The type of roast will affect the balance of flavours (bitterness, acidity, sweetness, etc.) and reveal the aromas of the terroir to a greater or lesser extent.
The more the coffee is roasted the more its colour will change (from light to dark). The darker the roast, the more the aromatic notes are lost in favour of the roasting notes.
All our coffees have been placed in a colorimeter by our experts in order to compare the roast intensity.
The aromatic groups describe the tasting notes of your cup (hazelnut, chocolate, peach, white flowers, etc.).
If you don't know what your coffee profile is yet, we advise you to start with the most appreciated aromatic groups: rich & sweet or woody.
Please Note: this is not a flavoured coffee but aromatic notes noticed upon tasting.
The dominant aromatic group represents the most perceptible notes and the secondary group, the more subtle notes present in the cup.
Traditional Coffees (classic and superior) are the most common in the various distribution channels.
Specialty Coffees (rated 80-100) are among the best coffees in the world and represent less than 10% of world production. These are flawless coffees that offer unique tasting notes from one terroir (or even plot) to another.
Attributed by “Q Graders”, a coffee's /100 score is determined by the quality of the beans and the result in the cup. It is advisable to progressively move towards coffees with higher scores.
