Café da Lee · From Juruaia to the world

Café da Lee: specialty, always.

A line of 100% Arabica coffees of the highest quality, grown in the Coffee Mountains of Juruaia. We started simple: three coffees, done well.

The origin

From coffee country to your cup.

Before becoming the Lingerie Capital of Brazil, Juruaia was (and still is) coffee country: the bean covers about 85% of the municipality's planted area. Café da Lee is born from these coffee farms, in the Coffee Mountains (Montanhas Cafeeiras) of Southern Minas Gerais.

The idea is simple: a few coffees, always specialty, with the origin told on the package. It is the same curatorial care Ateliê da Lee has given to cheeses and sweets since 2009.

Line launching soon. Join the pre-sale on WhatsApp to be notified when the first batches are ready.
