Mió is a coffee farm in Monte Santo
de Minas, Brazil, that exports, imports, stores, and sells coffee. Coffee harvested with care by Mió workers.

The farm spans a total of 1,589 hectares.
A third of the land is used for the coffee processing and milling facilities, some pasture areas and the plantation of eucalyptus trees, which is home to some lovely bees.
The rest of the land is equally divided
between the coffee trees and the native
forest reserve. With plenty of spring water in the estate, one of Mió’s responsibilities
is to not only maintain the water flow but
to also improve water quality.

Dedicating the same amount of land to the coffee as to the native forest helps preserve the natural characteristics of the area. The farm is located between Southern Minas Gerais and the High Mogiana region. Two distinct terrains, one bringing a citric acidity, the other
a full body and sweetness to Mió’s coffee.

We pride ourselves on a 100% traceability guarantee for the entire crop every year. Each stage of the journey, from where the cherries were harvested, which trucks moved them, how and when they were processed, is tracked using satellite imagery. Being a technology-driven farm improves the farmworkers’ quality of life, ensures an abundant harvest and guarantees the highest processing standards for the crop.

Our state-of-the-art processing facilities include: a wet-mill, concrete patios, raised beds, ambient-air drying rotating machines, wood silos, cross-beater hullers and a density separator. The beans are then sorted further according to size and colour using an oscillating screen and optical-electronic system.

OUR PROCESSES
Natural
A dry process, which doesn’t involve
a wet-mill
— considered the most eco-friendly coffee process there is. Used for most of Mió’s microlots to increase the fruity and citrus aromas while retaining the sweetness in the cup.
Honey
This involves the mechanical de-pulping
of the cherries at the wet-mill while ensuring
the mucilage stays attached to the beans. This sticky part of the cherry contains high amounts of sugar, resulting in a pronounced body and developed, chocolaty sweetness in Mió’s coffee.
Washed
This method explores microorganisms'
natural and spontaneous fermentation within the coffee beans when immersed in water between 12 and 36 hours. Clean body, sweetness, high acidity, and long aftertaste
are regular outcomes of this process.

Our state-of-the-art processing facilities include: a wet-mill, concrete patios, raised beds, ambient-air drying rotating machines, wood silos, cross-beater hullers and a density separator. The beans are then sorted further according to size and colour using an oscillating screen and optical-electronic system.

The world coffee supply chain consists of a large number of steps. Mió aims to oversee every part of the process. Buying coffee from Mió is as trustworthy and straightforward as buying vegeta-bles at your farmers’ market.

The coffee trees are planted, cared for and harvested by some fantastic people. The coffee beans undergo either Natural or Honey processing at the farm and are then dried to achieve the desired humidity. They rest in wood silos, before being hulled and separated by density. All these decisions are made with the farm's Q-Grader to achieve the desired cup profile for that batch.

The coffee leaves the estate at this point and heads over to Mió’s partner, Peneira Alta. The coffee is then sorted by size using an oscillating screen grader and an optical-electronic sorter that selects the coffee beans by colour. At Peneira Alta, the coffee beans are bagged in 30kg Jutex® bags that are lined with GrainPro® technology and shipped to the UK. They are held at Vollers’ warehouse until sold.
