About Classic Jo of Brazil
For Classic Jo, Folly Coffee looks for coffees that are loaded with nutty, chocolatey flavor. This lot is a direct trade coffee from the Our Coffees farm in Brazil, owned by Jose Maria de Oliveira. Unlike some coffees in Brazil, it was grown at a higher altitude than most, resulting in an amazing flavor profile.
When Rodrigo from Our Coffees was visiting Minnesota, Folly Coffee became extremely impressed not only with their coffees, but their practices as a farm. They focus on economic sustainability in their own community by educating other farmers at their mill and supporting a number of youth programs.

Folly Coffee
Launched in January of 2018, Folly was born by a deep passion for high end specialty coffees and a lot of hard work from scratch. Folly Coffee Roasters is independently owned and operated, roasting all of our small batch coffee in St. Louis Park, MN (just outside of Minneapolis). We started Folly to introduce people to the world of specialty coffee without any of the pretentiousness. The coffee program is led by Head Roaster Jeff Mooney, a top 15 US Cup Taster's Championship finalist and Certified Q Grader.
