Fazenda Dutra is a family-run coffee farm located in the Matas de Minas region of Brazil, focusing on sustainable and high-quality coffee since 1950. Founded by José Dutra Sobrinho, the farm is currently run by second generation brothers Ednilson Alves Dutra and Walter Cesar Dutra, alongside Osvaldina Dutra, their mother, who plays a key role in overseeing the quality control which led to them winning an award in the Cup of Excellence 2020.

The farms cover nearly 1,000 hectares, 650 dedicated to coffee cultivation and the remainder almost entirely to cover crops and nature reserves. These lands are used in conjunction to farm biodynamically, a process which includes composting organic waste to produce nutrient-rich fertiliser for the coffee trees, and planting legumes and other cover crops between coffee rows to improve soil fertility, suppress weeds and attract beneficial insects. This is exactly the sort of farm we want to work with at Kiss the Hippo, in order to promote a sustainable coffee chain.

Adam C. ★★★★★

I’ve had my espresso machine dialed in for a week, and this Red Catuai from Dutra Estate is the first bag that’s made me slow down and actually taste the cup. The natural process gives it a sweet, full body that holds up beautifully with milk, even at this altitude. I’m already ordering another bag.

Samuel ★★★★★

Came from Matas de Minas and the altitude range really shows—this Red Catuai natural is sweet and round, no harsh edges. I’ve had it as both espresso and pour-over, and both held up nicely. Harvest timing is clean, too.

Lily ★★★★★

The natural process really brings out the sweetness in these Red Catuai beans—I’ve been brewing them as a pour-over and the body is surprisingly rich for an 800-1,300 masl lot. It’s a solid everyday coffee from Matas de Minas that I’ll probably order again.
