EL BOTON is a single state coffee farm which has been planting coffee trees from the Maragogipe variety since 1931. This variety belongs to the coffea arabiga, it is a large tree which produces a big bean that can be up to screen 20.

EL BOTON is a unique coffee for a number of reasons. The variety of coffee is very exotic, the tradition for such a long period, and the quality of the process that can be easily identified in the appearance of the bean itself, the exquisite aroma, it´s balanced cup, and the beautiful roasting that can be given to these beans. “An excellent roast can only be given to an excellent coffee”.

We have a very special ecosystem: this land is located at 4430 feet above sea level, has an annual precipitation of

94.5 inches , and has humidity and soil conditions for growing the best Maragogipe beans in the market. In addition we have a farm shade growth production.

With this method we produce less per hectare but we are more careful about the quality of our beans. The shade gives the beans the right humidity and temperature conditions to create the right cup characteristics. The beans are handpicked from the branch only when ripe and are carefully dried and selected.

We are conscious of the biodiversity and the nature that we host. We want to preserve it since we feel it is our duty not only to grow excellent coffee but also to keep our shade trees, which are a source of oxygen and host insects and birds.
