DrDazz collaborate with Settlement to develop our coffee products. It is important for DrDazz that the beans that are used are ethnically sourced. This page introduces the farmers who grow our beans.

The region, Chapada de Minas, is mountainous and with a landscape that mixes Cerrado and Rain forest vegetation, which gives a lush and diverse biodiversity. With high relative humidity, a climate quite like Central America, and clay soil, the farm’s climate intercalates dry and consistent rain periods, where coffee is planted in both flat and slight lumpy lands and has streams and rivers in all its extension.

Edgardo Urquia owns and operates Beneficio Villa Florida. This lot comes from the El Bosque plot which is comprised of 11 hectares, 7 of which are planted with 30,000 coffee trees and the rest with shade trees. He is a 3rd generation coffee producer and Beneficio Villa Florida is almost 30 years old. After harvesting the ripe cherry, it is sorted and placed directly on raised beds and sun-dried for 20 days as a Natural.

The Lempira variety, developed by IHCAFE (Honduras's national coffee institute) is a hybrid and does well processed as a Natural from what we've seen on the cupping table!

Edgardo's goals for the future are to increase production, improve quality, and implement a new process!
