Baggio Platinum coffees are the finest quality Arabica coffees from José Astor Baggio’s coffee plantation at Fazenda Pindaibas in Minas Gerais, Brazil. This family owned plantation is located at an altitude of about 3,000 feet in Brazil’s premiere coffee growing region for Arabica coffees. The Baggio family tradition of growing coffee dates back to 1886 when they emigrated from Italy.  Generally found in Italy, World Trader Coffee is pleased to offer this premium coffee in the United States.

The timing of harvesting is crucial to maximize the quantity of ripe red cherry beans. The cherry beans are hand picked by experienced coffee farmers that have lived and worked at the plantation for many years and bring an extraordinary passion for producing the very best.  As soon as the best ripe red cherry beans are picked, they are hauled to the processing area for cleaning. The raw coffee beans are first washed and then spread on terraces in thin layers for natural sun drying. The beans are turned over by hand multiple times a day until they achieve an optimal condition of readiness.  Finally the coffee beans are sorted by size (screen size) and packed for shipment.

Baggios Platinum coffee is medium roasted to accentuate the mild smooth flavor, rich medium body, complex intense aroma and hint of dry spiceness and sweetness.
