At Uai Coffee, every bean tells a story — a story of tradition, excellence, and passion that begins in the heart of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and travels all the way to your cup. Our process, deeply rooted in the rich coffee heritage of the Oliveira family, is a meticulous journey designed to bring the luxury of Brazilian coffee to the world. Here’s a glimpse into the journey each Uai Coffee bean takes to deliver unparalleled flavour and quality.
Sourcing with Integrity
Our journey begins in the verdant landscapes of the Cerrado Mineiro region, known for its unique combination of altitude, climate, and soil — the perfect conditions for coffee cultivation. Here, coffee growing is not just a profession; it's a legacy passed down through generations. We source our beans directly from farms, including those owned by the Oliveira family, where traditional wisdom and sustainable practices go hand in hand. This direct relationship with the farms ensures that we not only get the best quality beans but also contribute to the welfare of the community and the land.
Selection and Quality Control
Once harvested, the beans undergo a rigorous selection process. Deyvid Oliveira, a renowned figure in the coffee industry and a key member of our team, leads this phase. His expertise and keen senses ensure that only the finest beans, those that meet our strict criteria for size, density, and flavor profile, make it to the next step. This attention to detail is what sets Uai Coffee apart, guaranteeing a consistent and exceptional product.
Roasting to Perfection
Roasting is where the magic happens, transforming green coffee beans into the aromatic, flavourful beans we love. Our roasting process is both an art and a science, carefully calibrated to highlight the unique characteristics of each batch. We employ a variety of roasting profiles to suit different brewing methods and taste preferences, ensuring that whether you crave a bold espresso or a smooth pour-over, Uai Coffee has the perfect roast for you.
Freshness and Packaging
Freshness is key to a great cup of coffee, which is why we package our beans soon after roasting in high-quality, air-tight packaging. This preserves the beans' freshness and flavor, ensuring that when you open a bag of Uai Coffee, it's as if you're stepping into a coffee farm in Minas Gerais.
