We’ve been sourcing coffee from Fazenda Inglaterra in Brazil for over a decade, and it’s a relationship we deeply value. The farm is owned by Stephen Hurst, a long-time friend of Ozone and founder of Mercanta, a respected green coffee sourcing company.
Located near Poços de Caldas in Minas Gerais, the farm sits at 950–1,300 metres above sea level on the edge of an ancient volcanic caldera. Its rich soils and high elevation make it ideal for producing vibrant, characterful coffees. Half of the land remains untouched Mata Atlântica forest, reflecting Stephen’s commitment to conservation and biodiversity.
When Stephen took over the farm, it had been abandoned. With the help of local friends, he brought it back to life—reviving old trees, planting new ones, and building a farm rooted in both regeneration and quality. His hands-on approach and long-term vision have shaped Inglaterra into a model of sustainable coffee farming.
A classic Brazilian coffee, this is full of sultanas, alongside dates and a dusting of sugary sweetness. Hazelnut and biscuit notes in the background add depth and linger onto the aftertaste.
