More than 20 years of achievements
It all started with two cousins who came from coffee producing families, and realized the potential of their product after winning two important coffee contests in 1999: the Cup of Excellence and the Illy contest. In 2000, Cristiano Ottoni and Gabriel de Carvalho Dias founded Bourbon.
Since its inauguration in 2000, Bourbon Specialty Coffees has become a benchmark in the specialty coffee industry. Initially starting out with five people and a modest office in Poços de Caldas, the company has grown and stood out for its commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability.
Over the years, they have invested in advanced technologies, partnerships with local producers, and research projects to improve the quality of their coffees. The launch of the Micro Lot Project in 2016 and the transformation of the Cachoeira da Grama farm into a research center exemplify this commitment. In this way, Bourbon Specialty Coffees continues its journey towards excellence, seeking to raise the standards of the specialty coffee industry.
