Brazil

Hard Earth sources exclusively from Brazil's Cerrado Mineiro region, an area known for consistency, scale, and controlled post-harvest practices.

The region's flat terrain and predictable climate support uniform growing conditions, allowing producers to deliver reliable quality across harvests. These established farms utilize advanced processing and drying techniques to preserve sweetness and body even at darker roast levels.

900 to 1,400 MASL (meters above sea level)

Brazilian beans used in Hard Earth are grown at moderate elevations and processed using pulped natural methods.

This approach enhances body and natural sweetness while supporting the development of rich chocolate and nutty characteristics. The combination of altitude and processing creates a bold, full bodied dark roast with smooth texture and low acidity.
