Fazenda Santana (Brazil) - Medium Roast

Fazenda Santana is Boarding Pass Coffee’s most popular medium roast, and we often refer to it as our “Goldilocks” roast because it is “exactly right” for every occasion. Besides the Goldilocks story, this coffee has a unique story of its own.

This roast is very special to our owners, Murilo and Christine Santos, as it was named after Murilo’s family farm. The Santos couple even held their wedding ceremony and reception on the grounds of the beloved coffee fields. Needless to say, this blend captures the love and magic of our family farm!

About The Roast:

The Fazenda Santana coffee farm, which translates to “St. Ana’s Farm” in English, produces award-winning specialty coffee that is carefully cultivated, irrigated by mineral-rich spring water, and handled with love. Both the farm and beans are certified UTZ/Rainforest Alliance, and organic certification is underway.

Beyond coffee production, the Fazenda Santana’s chapel is the last destination of Festa Santana, an annual pilgrimage held on the last Sunday in June. The all-day celebration features live auctions, festival games, stalls with local food and drink vendors, and live Brazilian country music (Sertaneja) that plays well into the early morning hours.
