The journey of Jaguara began in 2001 when Antonio Wander, a dedicated agronomist and researcher, together with two fellow agronomists, initiated their first coffee plantation. By 2013, leadership of the farm transitioned to Andre Luiz, Antonio Wander's son, alongside Natalia, who introduced innovative and sustainable agricultural methods to optimize the use of natural resources. Located in the Campo das Vertentes, an area historically known for its gold mining, the 90-hectare Jaguara farm focuses on producing natural coffees. These coffees are distinguished by their rich flavors of chocolate and plum, coupled with outstanding sweetness. Jaguara has become a center for innovation and development, launching numerous impactful projects.
This spirit of innovation and commitment culminated in 2019 when the farm participated in the Cup of Excellence for the first time, earning a remarkable fifth place with one of their micro-batches, scoring 90.47 points, among the top coffees of Brazil. The farm actively pursues quality improvement through various fermentation techniques, including both anaerobic and aerobic processes. They experiment with different fermentation environments such as barrels, polypropylene bags, drying boxes, and tanks, creating unique and distinctive flavor profiles.
