From the southern Amazon, where the forest still stands
5,000 bags — 300 metric tons of green Conilon Robusta, approximately 15 to 18 containers, first position May 2027.
Conilon is the Brazilian name for Robusta coffee. We grow, mill, roast and pack it in Mato Grosso. What is Conilon?
Our story
In the far northwest of Mato Grosso, at the southern edge of the Amazon, farming families chose to build their future with the forest, not against it. They formed a cooperative around sustainable farming and reforestation, and everything we sell comes from that choice.
Every purchase does something simple: it makes the standing forest, and the farms that keep trees in the landscape, worth more to the people who live there than the cleared land would be.
Taquaruçu do Norte, Colniza: land opened to farming within living memory, at the edge of the Amazon.
In July 2024, 23 founding members wrote reforestation into the cooperative’s founding purpose.
A seedling nursery, and coffee grown among banana plants and native trees instead of bare monoculture.
Dragon’s blood and natural latex, taken from living trees by a riverside community partner.

See roasted coffeeMost visitors do not know this exists
We roast under other companies’ brands, at origin, and ship direct. Four links between the tree and your warehouse instead of twelve, with a traceability story a domestic co-packer cannot supply at any price.
From the same origin
Raw materials harvested from standing forest by a traditional riverside community that works with the cooperative. For cosmetic, pharmaceutical and natural-ingredient buyers.
The difference
A conventional Brazilian Robusta trade passes through ten or more hands: producer, local buyer, cooperative, dry mill, exporter, trader, importer, dealer, roaster, distributor. Each one takes a margin and blurs the record of where the coffee came from.

Robusta carries more body, lower acidity and roughly double the caffeine of Arabica, and it produces markedly more crema. Those properties make it the backbone of Italian espresso blends and the entire instant category, and its price is historically more stable than Arabica’s.
Robusta is not a cheaper grade of Arabica. It is a different species with different properties, priced against a different futures contract — the ICE Europe Robusta contract in London, quoted in US dollars per metric ton, not the New York "C".
Brazilian Robusta, known in Brazil as Conilon — Coffea canephora.

Insights
Technical and commercial articles written to be useful whether or not you buy from us.
Producing countries grow the coffee and consuming countries capture the roasting margin. Tariff escalation is a large part of why — and why roasting at origin is still unusual.
Read moreWhat actually determines how long roasted coffee stays good in the bag — barrier structure, residual oxygen, degassing valves — and how to specify packaging rather than guess at it.
Read moreThe real trade-offs between sourcing green coffee and buying it roasted — capital, control, roast loss, compliance burden and speed — from a seller of both.
