About this Coffee
Sitio Santa Catarina is a 28-hectare slice of paradise situated in Pedralva, Minas Gerais. Coffee was first planted on the farm in 1983 by Sebastiao Alexandre da Silva, but unfortunately, the crop was lost to a heavy frost in the region during the early years of production. In response, he chose to plant new trees on higher ground to avoid such events in the future and began producing coffee again.
Improving quality has always been on the agenda, but a markable turning point in the story of this farm was forming a working partnership with CarmoCoffees. CarmoCoffees provide Sebastiao Alexandre access to the international specialty market and technical assistance regarding farm management, pruning, soil analysis and harvest techniques
Matambo is a Colombian specialty coffee produced by a group of dedicated small-scale coffee producers from Gigante, Huila. This coffee has been featured on the menu numerous times since the early days of Seven Seeds. The Gigante municipality is in the western skirt of the eastern Cordillera of Colombia, providing unique microclimates to produce these fantastic coffees. Matambo is an exemplary example of coffee from this region. In the cup, you’ll enjoy amplified stone fruits paired with an extra juicy finish that seems to last for days.
