Coffee Description
Year after year this coffee has proven to be a customer favorite with its incredibly approachable flavor profile. With a similar lineage to our popular Familia Peixoto (natural process), our Peixoto Honey (honey process) presents a slightly more elegant cup profile, yet with the same rich sweetness that we have come to love from all of our family coffees. Producing honey-process coffees on our farm involves a significant amount of work and requires much care during the drying process. As a result, this coffee has limited availability and we are always excited to receive more each year to share with you!

About José Augusto Peixoto of Brazil
Not only do the administrators of our farm span multiple generations of the same family, but so do many of the current farmers and farmhands that nurture every coffee tree on our estate. Several of the young farmers of 30+ years ago continue to work on the farm today, and some of them do so alongside their children. The pride they hold in what they do on the farm, and their vision for the future, is nothing short of inspirational. Small children, who over a decade ago spoke delightedly about one day being able to drive the tractors on the farm, are the ones driving them today. The best part, of course, is that they are still smiling. They are happy here with us, and we are blessed to have them alongside us as we continue to work toward producing the perfect bean.

Peixoto Coffee
Peixoto (pronounced “Pay-Show-Tow”) doesn’t just buy coffees directly, transparently and sustainably. Peixoto are the coffee FARMERS who produce it.
Owner Julia Peixoto was born and raised in a coffee farming-family in Southern Brazil watching her father and relatives give their lives to produce the best coffees they could but, when it was time to sell those coffees, they were at the mercy of the ups and (mostly) downs of the commodities market. Julia wanted to do better for her family and farmers in her region, changing the equity of the coffee trading game from the middleman to the farmers, who bear the brunt of the risks involved in farming and harvesting coffee. Julia and her husband Jeff left their promising corporate careers to start Peixoto Coffee in Arizona in 2015 to produce, import, roast, and bring to the market coffees farmed at their own family-farm, challenging the status-quo of the market and the traditional profiles expected of Brazilian coffees.
Peixoto Coffee is today one of less than a handful of roasters who have achieved complete vertical integration in their supply chain, connecting where the coffees are farmed to where the coffees are consumed. That means more money in the hands of the producers, and a higher quality coffee in the hands of the consumer. Peixoto Coffee brings exciting, complex, and uniquely experimental lots of coffees directly from its own farm and other farmers, whether in Brazil or other origins, they work to develop close and sustainable relationships with.
