History

While Ipanema Coffees as a corporate entity was founded in 1969, its operations include historic estates like Fazenda Rio Verde, which dates back to 1887. The company has evolved from traditional large-scale production to a focus on specialty microlots, notably through its 'Ipanema Grand Cru' and 'Premier Cru' programs. The farm has been under the ownership of Ipanema Agricola since the 1970s.
