Sourcing
Our 100% pure Arabica specialty ground coffee is ethically and sustainably sourced from the Alta Mogiana region of Brazil (single origin not blended), where it is produced by the Coffee Growers and Farmers Cooperative (Cocapec).

Our coffee producer Cocapec (the Coffee Growers and Farmers Cooperative in Brazil) is committed to ethical production practices and regenerative farming principles that heal the land, boost biodiversity, prioritize the well-being of its members, the environment and the overall quality of its coffee.
Their mission is to “meet the needs of cooperative members with competitive efficiency, promoting the development of coffee farming in the region, through cooperatives seeking economic, social and environmental sustainability.” Learn more about Cocapec here.
Yes! The EU Deforestation Regulation is a European Union law aimed at combating deforestation and forest degradation by requiring companies to prove that their products do not originate from deforested or degraded land, including protected areas like the Amazon forest. Café Delicioso™ is fully compliant with the EUDR. This ensures that our coffee is responsibly sourced, free from links to deforestation or illegal land use, and fully traceable to the farms where it was grown.
Brazilian farmers sell directly through their cooperative, cutting out middlemen and keeping prices low. The coffee is fresh, high-quality, and delivered fast—often the next day with Amazon Prime.
Unlike some of our competitors, we don’t blend with robusta coffee which is not only cheap but very acidic and can cause heartburn. You can always bet on our beans to be pure 100% Arabica.

Storage
It is a state of the art valve system (PLI-VALV®) and it serves to preserve the quality and freshness of your coffee by controlling the release of CO2 and preventing oxidation and mold. It also prevents the bag from bursting or swelling due to pressure buildup caused by gases from the freshly roasted coffee. Learn more here.
You can enjoy your bag of coffee within 30 days of opening. To maintain freshness leave the valve intact, seal the top of the coffee bag and store in cool dry space.
