Coffee from the hills, cooking from here
Our beans come from the Baturité massif, arabica grown in the shade of the hill forest a couple of hours from Fortaleza, and we roast them here every week. In the kitchen, a home-style Ceará breakfast gets time and care: griddled tapioca, cuscuz with manteiga da terra (the region’s clarified butter), sourdough bread and cake fresh from the morning oven. A porch to arrive early and stay a while.
