Luiz Carlos Zanette, 72, runs Sítio Serra e Leite in Poços de Caldas, South of Minas Gerais — one of Brazil's rare volcanic soil regions, three hours from São Paulo. The property has been in his family for over a century, since his grandparents left Italy for Brazil and began farming land that had never been cultivated. Luiz's father worked the coffee from childhood. Since the beginning, the family has grown specialty coffee, choosing quality over yield. This is a light roast, natural-processed single origin with notes of peanut butter, brown sugar, and baking spices.

What medium acidity means
Brasil Luiz Zanette is a medium-acidity coffee from South of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Acidity here is a gentle brightness, not sourness.
- A paper filter, like drip or Chemex, keeps that brightness clear.
- A French press rounds it off if you want less snap.
- French pressSteeped, then pressed through a metal screen. The oils stay in the cup, so this coffee drinks heavier and rounder.
