Green Coffee from Brazil Begins with People: Visiting CarmoCoffees (Day 1)
How does the relationship with CarmoCoffees begin?
At Green Coffee Hub, we believe that sourcing green coffee from Brazil isn’t just about catalogs — it’s about real connections with farmers. You have to taste it, feel the farm’s atmosphere, and speak with the people who grow it.
That’s why we travel to origin — to personally choose the green coffee that’s truly worth bringing to roasters across the CIS.
This time, we visited the Carmo de Minas region in Minas Gerais — home to CarmoCoffees, one of Brazil’s most respected specialty coffee exporters. Here’s what we saw and what made an impression.
From the very first hours, it was clear: CarmoCoffees is not just about the beans — it’s about values. We were welcomed personally by their representative Bryan, and by the evening we were having churrasco at the home of co-founder Luiz Paulo. That night, we truly felt what Carmo is about: respect, partnership, and genuine passion.
“If we don’t like the taste, we won’t sell it to you,” Luiz said. It wasn’t just a slogan — it was the company’s philosophy.
Why do we travel to origin ourselves?
Because you can’t sell coffee without understanding where it comes from. We don’t just buy lots — we participate in selection, cup on site, inspect processes, and talk flavor directly with producers. Only after that do we deliver the beans to those who will turn them into great coffee.
That’s how Green Coffee Hub works — your green coffee hub in Tashkent.
We supply green coffee directly across the CIS: Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia.
