Available in 150mg CBG + 150mg CBD or 300mg CBD
We were able to buy a very small amount of a 48-hour anaerobic natural single-origin from Fazenda Reis in Três Pontas, Sul de Minas, Brazil. The farm has been in the Reis family since 1933. It is run today by José Carlos Reis, the son of the original owner, and his son Flávio Reis, the third generation on the same land. The cup is bold but silky, with a slight raspberry note up top, dark chocolate underneath, and a dry white wine finish. Not sweet, not jammy. Distinctive.
About the growers
Fazenda Reis sits at 900 to 970 meters in the Mantiqueira de Minas region. The farm has been in the Reis family for three generations, since Aneite Reis inherited five hectares in 1933. Today his son José Carlos and grandson Flávio run the operation. Flávio is the family's processing innovator and has won the Taste of Harvest competition three years running, plus a two-star Great Taste Award in 2023.
The Reis family also farms milk, soybeans, and wheat to keep workers employed year-round and shield them from the coffee market's volatility. The farm includes worker housing for families, an on-site nursery, and a medical center with a weekly doctor visit.
About the process
This batch was processed in Flávio's pioneering static-box anaerobic system, a technique rarely seen elsewhere in Brazil. Whole coffee cherries stack inside sealed boxes flooded with temperature-controlled air, which slows fermentation and lets Flávio dial in flavor with much greater precision than open-tank anaerobic allows. The cherries fermented for 48 hours in the static boxes, then dried for approximately 20 days on raised beds and patios. Fruit and bean dry together: this is a natural process, not washed.
Varietals are Acaía and Mundo Novo. We imported this lot through friends who specialize in Brazilian green coffee.
What is anaerobic coffee?
Anaerobic coffee is coffee whose fermentation step happens without oxygen. In conventional processing, harvested cherries ferment in open tanks or on raised beds with ambient microbes participating. Anaerobic processing seals the cherries in an oxygen-free environment, which changes which microbes participate and produces different flavor compounds. The resulting cup carries notes you do not usually find in non-anaerobic coffee: tropical and red fruit, floral character, and a wine-like quality in the finish. Flávio's static-box variant adds temperature control to the mix, which is what makes his lots so consistent.

Pick your dose
Two infusion options on the same Brazil bean:
- 150mg CBG + 150mg CBD per 12oz bag. Dual-cannabinoid, the same balance as our Colombia CBG. CBG for focus, CBD for steady calm.
- 300mg CBD per 12oz bag. Single-cannabinoid for those who want straightforward CBD without the CBG.
Both use broad-spectrum extract from USDA organic hemp, 0% THC, third-party lab tested per batch.

Common questions
Is this coffee sweet?
No. Anaerobic processing is sometimes known for producing jammy, candy-like coffees, but this 48-hour ferment was timed to preserve a dry profile. The finish is dry and white-wine-like rather than fruit-juice sweet.
How is the CBG version different from the CBD version?
The CBG+CBD version is dual-cannabinoid (150mg of each, 300mg total). CBG is typically chosen for focus and mental clarity; CBD for relaxation and calm. Together they balance each other. The 300mg CBD version is single-cannabinoid for those who just want CBD without the CBG. Same Brazil bean in both.
Is CBG psychoactive?
No. Neither CBG nor CBD is psychoactive. This coffee contains 0% THC, verified by third-party lab testing per batch. You will not feel high or impaired.
Will I taste the hemp?
No. Our infusion process integrates with the coffee oils during roasting and is undetectable in the cup. You taste the Brazil, not the hemp.
