  • 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.

    Roasting Information
    Medium to medium-dark: keep the pace of the roast middle of the road, maybe a fraction on the slower side. Then you're looking for end of the gap to finish the roast, don't push it too far.

  • We offer our coffees as whole beans, pre-ground, and green unroasted.

    To help you choose the best pre-ground options for you, below is a list of popular brew methods that we find work well with our settings. And for more information, please visit our dedicated grind size article here.

    Espresso: Turkish coffee (jezve) or, you guessed it, espresso*

    Fine Filter: Moka pot, AeroPress, single cup pour-over (e.g. Hario V60 01, Chemex 1-3 cup, Kalita 155). Fine filter also works well for home espresso machines like the De'Longhi Dedica.

    Medium Filter: Double cup pour-over brewers (e.g., Clever Dripper, V60 02, Chemex 6/8/10 cup, Kalita 185, April, wide Orea, etc)

    Coarse Filter: Automatic drip brewers like Moccamaster, BUNN, Sage, Behmor etc, and syphon brewers.

    French Press: French Press (cafetiere/press pot/plunger Pot), cold brew, cowboy coffee.

    It is not possible to grind 3kg bags.

    Ground coffee cannot be refunded nor exchanged as it is a product customised especially for you. Full refund policy here.

    If you're interested in getting yourself a grinder, we have a great selection to choose from! Click here to check them out.

    *Please note that some home espresso machines will struggle with a standard espresso grind due to the wide variety of machines on the market and the difference in spec when compared to commercial espresso machines. If you are unsure whether this applies to your personal home set-up please get in touch.
