Tell Me More About Henrique
Henrique Sloper has managed Fazenda Camocim since 1999 and operates it according to organic and biodynamic principles. The focus is on soil health. The better the soil, the more resilient the coffee plant. We support agricultural approaches that work regeneratively and understand coffee production holistically. This also includes producing their own fertilizer, which makes producers more independent from market fluctuations.
Fazenda Camocim
In fall 2023, we visited Fazenda Camocim in Pedra Azul. It's located just about two hours from the port city of Vitória. In no time you leave the sea behind and drive into the forested mountains of Espírito Santo — that's a stark contrast to the Cerrado or Minas Gerais, where there are hardly any forests left due to large-scale clearing in the mid-20th century. In Espírito Santo too, but here reforestation has taken place and everyone benefits from it today. Fazenda Camocim is located in intact forest, with coffee plants integrated into the property. Thanks to the forest and the elevation, the microclimate is noticeably cooler. Here Henrique and Rogelio work on planting new varieties and better understanding the climate.
Why Do We Buy This Coffee?
On one hand, because the coffee brings so much of what we love in a strong and complex espresso. Above all, when mixed with milk, the coffee really shines. On the other hand, because the work of Fazenda Camocim has an important influence on the entire region, indeed on Brazilian coffee production as a whole. Coffee production in an agroforestry system is extremely rare in Brazil — which is precisely why it's important to us to support the forces that show it's possible.
Why Does Henrique Taste The Way It Does?
Coffees from Espírito Santo, in eastern Brazil, grow quite high by local standards. Because of the slowed growth, the coffee brings considerable complexity. The bean is hard and thus tolerates a somewhat more developed roast. For our purposes, we've roasted the coffee rather dark to achieve a more classic espresso. However, through the washed process and slow drying, the coffee retains its fine acids and balances out this heavy coffee.
