Mantissa was founded with a commitment to producing exceptional, high-quality coffees through dedicated cultivation and sustainable practices. Nestled in the mineral-rich, volcanic soil regions of Campestre, Machado, and Poço Fundo in South Minas Gerais, Brazil, Mantissa operates two key farms: Fonte Alta Farm and Subasio Farm. Positioned at elevations ranging from 1,110 to 1,280 meters, these farms benefit from the unique volcanic soils that elevate each coffee’s natural acidity and complexity, crafting vibrant, region-specific flavors.
Offering Single Farm coffees that score between 83 and 88 points, Mantissa cultivates varieties such as Yellow Bourbon, Arara, Yellow Catucaí, and Icatu, processed using Natural, Pulped Natural, and Anaerobic Fermentation methods. This dedication to sustainable and traceable coffee practices ensures that each cup highlights the distinctive qualities of each farm’s terroir, from classic Brazilian notes of chocolate and caramel sweetness to more funky, clean, and fruity profiles featuring hints of yellow fruits.
