We have taken the courage to keep learning…everyday!
CASCAVEL VERMELHA
The rattlesnake, known as Cascavel in Portuguese, gets a bad rap. Its reactive tendency to defend itself from all perceived threats makes it a frightening opponent. But it’s also essential to the coffee ecosystem. In addition to their beautiful markings, rattlesnakes eat rodents and other small animals. They keep these pests far away from coffee fields where they could wreak havoc by burrowing into coffee tree root systems or chewing through irrigation setups.
Our Cascavel Vermelha (Portuguese for red) has lots of red fruit and refined sweetness.
