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.
