Devon's Voyager Coffee Introduces New Single Origin: Sitio São Lourenço

Voyager Coffee, Devon's leading specialty roaster, has announced its latest single origin release: Sitio São Lourenço, a Brazilian coffee from the southern region of Minas Gerais. Grown by fifth-generation producer Antônio Afonso de Oliveira, this delicious coffee brings a smooth, full-bodied cup with rich tasting notes of baker's chocolate, walnut, and stewed plum.

Sourced from Santana da Vargem, famed for its lush valleys, rich soil, and ideal coffee-growing conditions, this single origin showcases a creamy body, mellow acidity and slight sweetness. The gentle roasting helps maintain its balanced profile, ensuring it works beautifully for both espresso and filter.

Antônio farms using sustainable, regenerative practices, and is a founding member of Coopasv, a small cooperative dedicated to supporting local producers with fair pricing, shared infrastructure and agronomic support. Antônio describes his coffee simply, “I drink it and I think it's a sweet, clean coffee -the best coffee in the world for me. It's a product of my work, my family's work, and our history.”

In September 2024, Voyager's Head Roaster, Gabriel Fill, visited Sitio São Lourenço with export partner Volcafe. There, he met Antônio and witnessed the resilience behind the cup: following a devastating frost in 2021, Antônio lost a significant portion of his crop and turned to honey production to sustain the farm while replanting new coffee trees. Coopasv stepped in with seedlings, logistical support, and market access - a testament to the strength of community-based sourcing.

Gabriel comments, “Meeting Antônio and seeing firsthand how a small farm like his survives and thrives was incredibly humbling and reinforced the importance of seeing the producers behind every bean. This coffee is not only delicious, it's a story of perseverance and partnership. Sitio São Lourenço represents the kind of meaningful relationship we aim to build with every origin we work with.Behind every cup is a family, a farm, and a community working tirelessly to bring us the coffee we love.”

Voyager's Sitio São Lourenço is available now at voyagercoffee.co.uk, in three sizes (227g, £10.50 / 500g, £21.00 / 1kg, £35.00). It's suitable for all brewing methods, including filter, stovetop, domestic espresso, cafetiere, and AeroPress.
