Green coffee - Ricardo Hirofumi Yoshimatsu, Brazil

Ricardo Hirofumi, a second-generation coffee farmer, carries forward the legacy his parents began in 1975 at Riacho Das Varas farm in the initially underestimated Chapada De Minas region. Despite doubts about the area's coffee quality, Ricardo's family persevered, investing time and effort to transform the land into a fertile ground for exceptional coffee. Their dedication paid off, consistently yielding high-quality coffees, while Ricardo's commitment to continuous improvement drives the exploration of sustainable practices to add value to the farm. Apex Coffee Imports, a Canadian green coffee* importer, sources specialty coffees in a fair and equitable manner. Their focus is on fostering positive relationships between coffee producers and clients and highlighting the hard work of small family farms by supporting these producers year after year. *Green coffee is the raw, unroasted form of coffee beans that must be roasted before consumption.
