A new bee

Hi everyone! I’m really excited to be here.

My daughter and I are about to take the leap and start the business we’ve been dreaming about for years. Funny enough, we first imagined opening a cozy specialty coffee shop and only later becoming a roastery. But the more we talked about our strengths, our story, and the kind of impact we wanted to have, the more we realized we had it backwards. So we’re starting with a specialty coffee roastery focused on B2B, while keeping a small takeaway coffee window as a way to share our coffee and build our brand with the local community.

Coffee has been part of my family’s life for over a century. We’ve been producing commercial coffee in Brazil for generations, but I’ve always dreamed of being part of the specialty coffee world. The best surprise was discovering that my daughter—a creative artist—had fallen in love with that dream too, especially with the family stories behind every bean.

We’re at the beginning of this journey, and I know we have a lot to learn. That’s one of the reasons I joined this community. I’m looking forward to learning from those who’ve already been through the challenges we’re about to face, sharing experiences, exchanging ideas, and hopefully giving back as we grow.

Looking forward to getting to know you all!
