What would you say if I told you that you could get coffee from Brazil, Colombia, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Mexico or Honduras without leaving home? That’s right, Nossa Familia Coffee is bringing premium coffee directly to your doorstep. How cool is that?!
Nossa Familia was founded in 2015 by two brothers who wanted to bring their passion for coffee back to their hometown of Manaus, Brazil. They started out selling coffee at local farmer’s markets and eventually decided to take the next step and open their own coffee shop.
Their goal was to create a place where they could share their love of coffee and the culture of Latin America. They wanted to give their customers a taste of the region through the food and drinks they serve. And now, thanks to our partnership with them, you too can enjoy the same great coffee experience.
Nossa Familia Coffee An Exceptional FarmDirect Coffee Experience
Nossa Familia Coffee is a company founded by Augusto Carnerio in 2004. He started his journey with coffee at age 12 when he first tasted espresso. He began working with coffee beans in high school and continued through college. After graduating from the University of Washington, he moved back to Brazil to help start a coffee farm. While there, he learned everything he could about coffee growing and processing. When he returned to Seattle, he started Nossa Familia to share what he had learned with other farmers around the world. Since then, Nossa Familia has grown to become one of the best coffee companies in the country. Their passion for sustainability, family, and heritage has merged to create one of our favorite coffee experiences and brands in Nossa Familia.
Our family-owned coffee company was founded in 2005. We are a small family-run farm focused on quality and sustainability. Our farmers are direct relationships with our growers, and we have a direct relationship with our roasters. We strive to provide fair trade products, and we are committed to sustainable farming practices. We offer wholesale, direct, and retail options for all of our coffees. We also sell directly through our website, and we ship nationally.

Brazilian Decaf
Coffee is an aromatic beverage made from roasted coffee beans. Coffee contains caffeine, which gives you energy and improves your mood. However, drinking too much coffee may cause headaches, insomnia, anxiety, and other health problems. To reduce the amount of caffeine in coffee, we use the Swiss water method. This process removes about 95% of the caffeine from the coffee bean. We then combine two different types of beans to create our decaffeinated coffee. The first type is called “Peaberry” because it comes from naturally mutated coffee plants. These plants produce a higher yield of beans per plant, making them ideal for decaffeination. The second type is called “Robusta�” because it grows well in hot climates. Robusta beans are also easier to grow than Peaberry beans. The combination of both types creates a smooth and balanced cup of coffee.
Taste Notes: With hints of chocolate, floral tones, and a lingering sweetness. Processing method: Naturally processed; Swiss water method (for decaffeination) brewing method: French press, AeroPress, cold brew. Nossa Brazil organic decaf coffee, medium dark roast coffee, swp, 12oz ground. The farm-direct decaf comes from the family farms in the Sul de minas region of Brazil.

It is Swiss Water processed, a clean, natural processing for extracting caffeine from our beans.
Brazilian Coffee is an excellent example of a natural product. It is grown naturally, picked at its peak maturity, and processed using minimal technology. It is then dried slowly under controlled conditions, and stored in climate-controlled warehouses. The beans are roasted and ground just before brewing. It is important to note that the beans are never exposed to heat above 212 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows them to retain all of their natural oils and nutrients, while also preserving their delicate flavor profile.

Coffees. We source coffees from around the globe. Coffee beans come from many different regions and countries, each with its own unique flavor profile. Each region produces a specific type of bean, depending on the climate and soil conditions. These differences result in distinct flavors and aromas. For example, Arabica beans grown in Ethiopia have a strong citrus aroma. Robusta beans grown in Vietnam have a sweet, nutty taste. Some beans are washed before roasting, while others are not. Washing removes the outer coating of the bean, exposing the inner layers, which results in a darker roast.
