Fazenda Caxambu
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
Located in Três Pontas in the Sul de Minas region, Fazenda Caxambu is led by Carmen Lúcia Chaves de Brito, known as Ucha. The farm’s name is derived from African and Indigenous traditions, meaning “music box” and referencing historical communication drums. The estate has influenced Brazilian specialty coffee for nearly two decades, with a strong focus on regenerative agriculture.
Innovations
Carmen Lúcia emphasizes ecological resilience and regenerative farm management. Origin's Caxambu release also participated in a 19-tonne sail-freight trial from Brazil to France.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
