Brazil Anhumas Espresso

The Anhumas Valley ranges from 1100 to 1350 MASL in altitude while the Sitio Anhumas farm sits comfortably at 1200 MASL. The word “Anhumas” refers to a big, black bird that used to be prevalent in the area and that inspired the name of the valley and farm.

Clayton Mabelli, the son running this farm, is the third generation of coffee producers working his family’s land. Clayton says that with a recent mind-set switch to specialty coffee farming, the family has enjoyed working towards more efficient farming techniques. These have included those related to tractor spacings, planting trees for shade, and bolstering the farm’s output with other sources of income such as avocado-growing.
