Brazil, Jose Alberto Careta
Produced by José Alberto Careta at his farm, Corrego Fundo, this lot is a quintessential example of the excellence found in the Cerrado Mineiro region. As the first coffee-producing region in Brazil to receive a "Designation of Origin" (similar to fine wine), Cerrado Mineiro is famous for its well-defined seasons and high-altitude plateaus. José utilizes the region's flat topography and consistent climate to master the Natural Process, meticulously drying the cherries in the sun to allow the sugars to soak into the bean. This careful stewardship at the Salgar subregion results in a sophisticated, uniform cup that represents the best of modern Brazilian sustainable farming.

Roasting Exceptional Coffee Since 1982
A Legacy Born in Her Kitchen. A Roast Perfected in Ours.
Forty-five years ago, Bonjo Coffee wasn’t a business—it was a memory. Our story begins with the hum of a stovetop and the unmistakable aroma of my grandmother’s kitchen. She didn’t just brew coffee; she created a moment of sanctuary. It was her warmth, her high standards, and her belief that "good enough" never was, that sparked the fire in me to start roasting.
Today, Bonjo Coffee Roasters remains a family-anchored landmark in Stamford, CT. We’ve taken those old-world values—patience, quality, and heart—and brought them into the modern era. As a multi-generational roastery, we bridge the gap between my grandmother's timeless inspiration and the precision of today’s specialty coffee.
From our signature Miscela Bar and Classica to our micro-lot single origins, every bean is roasted to honor her legacy. We are still a family business, now led by the next generation, ensuring that the same care my grandmother put into a single cup is found in every bag we ship.
Bonjo Coffee: Legendarily Roasted. Locally Loved. Grandmother Approved.
