“I was a long-time Pact Coffee subscriber... then I came across Sam at a market. The beans were miles ahead of the coffee I had been using. Needless to say I switched to Rise & Grind... Highly recommend Rise & Grind!”

Meet the Producers

Jose Carlos Alves Pinto, São Sebastião do Paraíso

José and his brothers have 4 farms in São Sebastião do Paraíso. In the 1990s, the brothers invested in technology with an aim to increase the cultivated area and renovate their crops (more adequate spacing, systematization, new varieties). Their focus at the moment is an improvement in business management, and investing in processes, people and optimization to increase sustainability and excellence in the cup. 

Marcio Martins Ferreira, Fazendas Monte Alto & Mimosa

Marcio has two farms in Pedregulho, Mogiana. He started his first coffee crop at his father’s estate in 1983, which was dominated by dairy farming. The results from coffee over time meant that Marcio could leave behind the milk production of his father and focus solely on coffee cultivation, which has become the primary income for the family ever since.

I have always adored proper coffee but haven't made the time to indulge. Life has changed and I so glad I placed an order with these guys. A very smooth aromatic blend for anytime but I enjoy mine in the morning. Thank you!

Just lovely coffee

I love my daily cafetière of coffee. I drink it black so appreciate the lack of bitterness and the rich fruity flavour. The packaging is excellent, revealing time after time to be put back into the fridge to keep fresh

Great beans and great service!

Bought the beans as a bit of a last minute gift for my partner and Rise & Grind couldn’t have been more accommodating or helpful! Great quality tasting beans will definitely re order and explore the other varieties!
