Tell Me More About Henrique
Henrique Sloper has been running Fazenda Camocim since 1999 and operates it according to organic and biodynamic principles. The focus is on soil health. The better the soil, the more resilient the coffee plant. We support agricultural approaches that work regeneratively and understand coffee production holistically. This also includes producing their own fertilizer, which makes producers less dependent on market fluctuations.
Fazenda Camocim
In autumn 2023 we visited Fazenda Camocim in Pedra Azul. It's only about two hours from the port city of Vitória. In no time you leave the sea behind and drive into the forested mountains of Espírito Santo - that's a stark contrast to the Cerrado or Minas Gerais, where there are hardly any forests left, as large-scale clearing took place in the mid-20th century. Espírito Santo also experienced clearing, but here reforestation took place and today everyone benefits from it. Fazenda Camocim is located in intact forest, with coffee plants integrated into the property. Through the forest and the elevation, the microclimate is noticeably cooler. Here Henrique and Rogelio are working to plant new varieties and better understand the climate.
Why We Buy This Coffee
On one hand, because the coffee brings so much of what we love in a strong and complex espresso. The coffee really shines, especially when combined with milk. On the other hand, because the work of Fazenda Camocim has important influence for the whole region, indeed for Brazilian coffee production. Coffee production in agroforestry systems is extremely rare in Brazil - which is precisely why it's important for us to support the forces that show it is possible.
Why Does Henrique Taste the Way It Does?
Coffees from Espírito Santo, eastern Brazil, grow quite high for local standards. Due to the slower growth, the coffee brings considerable complexity. The bean is hard and thus also tolerates a somewhat more developed roast. We roasted the coffee rather dark by our standards to achieve a more classic espresso. However, through the washed process and slow drying, the coffee retains its fine acidity and balances this heavy coffee.
