From HATCH

Located in the Pântano micro-region of Minas Gerais, Fazenda Rio Brilhante benefits from a stable climate ideal for coffee production, particularly natural processed coffees. Founded by Inácio Urban in the 1980s, the farm has expanded to 1,600 hectares. Management utilizes advanced mechanical harvesting and density sorting to ensure lot consistency, while mahogany and grevillea trees protect plants from wind and preserve biodiversity. Now managed by the second generation of the Urban family, the estate produces an average of 130,000 bags annually. Rio Brilhante is globally recognized for its commitment to sustainability and quality, holding UTZ and Rainforest Alliance certifications while earning prestigious awards for ethics and traceability. By maintaining mandatory forest reserves and innovative agricultural practices, the farm exemplifies modern, responsible agribusiness in the Cerrado Mineiro region.
