On the National Coffee Circuit, every stop has a story
"The National Coffee Circuit is here to further strengthen and enhance the largest coffee producing and selling region in the world. It's an opportunity to show Brazil and the world all the richness, tradition and quality that exist here, highlighting the strength of our culture and boosting new business and tourism."
Jacques Miari, the president of Cocatrel, highlights the transformative role of coffee: the strength of the bean, the striking aromas, the potential of our people and the real chance of attracting tourists from Brazil and around the world.
"The National Coffee Circuit is a valuable opportunity to show Brazil the strength of our sector. More than just a product, coffee is part of the culture, economy and daily life of our people. With this initiative, producing regions, cooperative members and the diversity of Brazilian coffees gain visibility. As with wines, cheeses and chocolates in other countries, Brazilian coffee also deserves to be celebrated, valued and recognized for its history, quality and social impact."
"Every day we think about how to offer the best coffee to the world, and the world is passionate about our coffee. Now, with the Circuit, we're opening the doors of our production units to Brazil and the world."
Author of the law that recognized the Rota do Café as the 14th National Monument, Diego helped get this symbolic and economic route that connects the producing farms of Minas Gerais to the Port of Santos off the ground, a path that reveals all the power of Brazilian coffee culture.

☕🌱✨ In the week we celebrate Earth Day, we invite you to return to the origin and feel what is born from it. In coffee, we call this terroir, which is the union of land, climate, altitude, and the hands that cultivate. It's what transforms each bean into a unique experience.
Discover the terroir and experience the flavor that comes from each land and each region of our Circuit. 🌍☕ From the comforting sweetness of Alto Paranaíba, to the smoothness of Triângulo Mineiro, through the richness of aromas in Sul and Sudoeste de Minas, to the balance of Mogiana Paulista, each place imbues its essence into the cup.
Celebrating the Earth is recognizing that coffee begins long before brewing. It begins with care, the right timing, and a connection with nature.
Because each cup carries a piece of the earth and many stories to tell.

☕✨ This past weekend, we experienced a historic milestone in Monte Carmelo. A moment of partnership between the National Coffee Circuit and the city, which now officially becomes part of this great route that celebrates Brazilian coffee. 🌱
The inauguration of the National Coffee Circuit Landmark symbolizes much more than a physical structure; it represents the realization of a project that ushers in a new era of opportunities for tourism, business, and the entire local coffee chain.
The Circuit is a system that connects territories and generates development through pillars such as tourism, gastronomy, culture, and business, strengthening everyone from producers to entrepreneurs, the hospitality sector, and all who are part of this ecosystem.
And with the installation of the landmark, this transformation gains even more strength: it signals, identifies, and positions the city within the route, showing everyone who passes through that Monte Carmelo is part of a national movement that values coffee and those who live by it.
A symbol that points the way… and opens doors to the future. ☕🌍

☕🌍 Today is a day to celebrate the strength of one of Brazil's greatest prides: our coffee.
The taste that is ours and that has conquered the entire world. Every second, more than 2,000 cups of coffee are consumed on the planet, and a significant portion of this volume comes from Brazil, the world's largest coffee producer and exporter. 🇧🇷
Millions of people are involved, from farm to cup, driving a chain that generates jobs, boosts tourism, strengthens gastronomy, and connects cultures. 🌱✨
And it's in this scenario that the National Coffee Circuit is born as a movement that values this power, connecting cities, stories, and experiences on a route that transforms coffee into development.
Every grain carries dedication.
Every cup, a story.
And each destiny, a new opportunity.
A toast to Brazilian coffee that moves the world and transforms lives.
