Every great origin
deserves to keep
bearing fruit around the world.

1850 Coffee Scout travels across Brazil in search of specialty coffees whose quality begins long before the harvest. Our mission is to ensure that every origin travels with every bean, preserving its identity, its story, and the people who made it possible.

ABOUT 1850

We are
explorers
of origins.

1850 was born from the belief that extraordinary coffees do not happen by chance.
They are the result of the relationship between land, climate, time, knowledge, and people.

That is why, before selecting a lot, we seek to understand everything that surrounds it. We visit farms, meet producers, follow their processes, and uncover what makes each origin truly unique.

More than exporting specialty coffees, we bring to the world the stories that made these coffees possible.

Our Origin

It all begins in Mantiqueira.

Among mountains, elevations, and distinct terroirs lies a diversity of coffees that reveals the very best this region has to offer.

Coffees of different varieties, processing methods, and sensory profiles, produced by people who deeply understand their land and their craft.

It was among the mountains of Southern Minas Gerais that we discovered one of Brazilian coffee’s greatest treasures.

It is in this land that 1850 finds the origins it brings to the world.

From the origin to the world.

Beyond the Cup

We have a clear purpose.

To ensure that origins continue to bear fruit around the world.

We don’t believe the greatest value of a coffee lies solely in its attributes.

We believe it also lives in the people who produced it, in the land that shaped it, in the stories and flavors that continue to inspire new experiences long after the first cup.

Our mission is to preserve these origins and ensure they continue to spark discoveries around the world.

Q-Grader

Every great discovery also requires knowledge.

Our search is guided by the sensitivity that comes from a deep understanding of the specialty coffee world.

Technical evaluation, sensory analysis, and years of accumulated experience ensure that every origin we select brings together consistency, authenticity, and excellence.

More than identifying quality, we seek to recognize what makes each coffee truly unique.

Responsible for the sensory evaluation and technical curation of 1850 Coffee Scout’s coffees. As a certified Q Grader, Hugo combines technical expertise, hands-on experience, and a deep understanding of Mantiqueira to select coffees that faithfully represent the identity of their origins.

Our Curation

Before choosing a coffee, we choose to know its origin.

Our curation begins long before the coffee reaches the cupping table.

  • We meet the people.
  • We understand the story.
  • We understand the processes.
  • We evaluate each lot.

Only then does a coffee become part of 1850.

Because quality can be measured. But authenticity must be experienced.

What Sets Us Apart

What makes us different.

Specialized Curation

Each lot is carefully evaluated according to technical and sensory criteria.

Traceable Origins

Trusted Relationships

Stories That Travel with the Coffee

We believe that knowing the origin transforms the experience of everyone who roasts, brews, and enjoys each coffee.
