Carmo Coffees

@carmocoffees has a beautiful new office and cupping space. There they host talks by agronomists, roasters, and other experts for the producers in the region. Cupping at origin is valuable not only to evaluate many lots, but also to calibrate with the origin cupping team.

Just found a sneaky behind the scenes capture of @carmocoffees shiny new QC lab from our recent trip to Brazil 🔍👀 #carmocoffees #qclab #qualitycontrol #greencoffee #carmodeminas #specialtycoffee #qgrader

Paz, sua linda, continue habitando em mim! Mereço!

Throwback to that intense cupping day in Brazil 2 weeks ago 😅💪🏽 #Repost @davidshaub with @repostapp ・・・ When people say "I wish I got paid to taste coffee" I don't think they realize how mentally and physically taxing it can be. Not to mention the mental, physical and emotional stress of traveling and being away from your family, etc. Then there is the mental stress of committing to coffees that you hope hold up. By the end of this week my CCS colleagues and I will have committed to what is roughly equivalent to half a million dollars worth of coffee between Colombia and Brazil, and that's just one trip - I'll be back in South America before the end of the year for more! I am very, very lucky to have this job... but it can also be quite stressful. Thankfully at @collaborativecs we have incredible partners like @carmocoffees who do much of the screening for us and make our jobs that much easier!
