The Barbosa family, a truly Brazilian, family-owned company, has thrived with a clear mission: to foster the sustainable growth of the Cerrado Mineiro region through the production of exceptional, sustainable coffees.

Their farming legacy spans back to the 1900s. The tradition of producing coffee was passed down from Danilo's great-grandfather Elias Barbosa to his son Claudio Barbosa de Paula, and then to Danilo's father, Jairo Barbosa de Paula. In 1979, it was Danilo's turn to spearhead the Barbosa family business.

Following in their ancestor's footsteps, Danilo's wife Imaculada Barbosa and sons Vitor Marcelo and Sergio Ricardo work together on their farms, keeping their passion alive generation after generation. Their extended family is also involved in the business, making a day in the office feel like a natural extension of their homes.

Over the decades, they have relentlessly sought to perfect their craft, incorporating the most advanced technologies available to unlock the full potential of this unique terroir in coffee production.

By adopting outstanding coffee varieties and cutting- edge technology, the Barbosa family quickly realized that they were producing something truly unique.

In 2018, Danilo lead the family business through a pivotal moment in their journey, shifting their focus to producing specialty coffees, a move that underscored their adaptability and innovation.

An essential part of this new journey and a merit of Danilo's vision was working closely with Deyvid Leandro, another local producer with over 20 years of experience in coffee production but a focus on Q-grading, quality control, and fermentation processes.

This transition was successful immediately, with their coffees reaching prominent positions in competitions and awards from the very first harvest. Their excellence was further recognized when they became the Brazilian Champions of the Cup of Excellence in 2021, the highest recognition in coffee competitions, a testament to their dedication and innovation.

Unique Quality

From the choice of the varietal to the harvest season, the Barbosa family works hard to deliver the best coffee. All the processes are closely watched, and the Quality Control team follow all the stages of the traceability program, from the tree to the warehouse, and from the warehouse to the world.

About Cerrado Mineiro

Located in the prestigious Cerrado Mineiro Region, the world's first Designation of Origin for coffee, the Barbosa Family production units are at the core of excellence.

This origin is recognized for its unparalleled coffee quality, cutting-edge technology application, and unwavering commitment to sustainability.

It's no wonder that this region is the largest certified area on the planet, bearing witness to their commitment to the finest coffee possible.

The Barbosa family farms encompass a total area of 3,322 hectares, with 983 hectares dedicated to coffee production. They have over 1,000 hectares of natural reserves, and this balance between production and protected areas not only ensures a consistent supply of exceptional coffees but also reflects the family’s deep commitment to environmental preservation.

All their natural reserve areas are duly legalized and certified, reinforcing their commitment to sustainability.

Direct Trade

For many decades the family produced and sold the coffee to exporters around the region. With a huge demand from buyers, crop after crop, the vision became to trade directly with importers all around the world. After thoughtful research on quality, sensorial analyses, consistency, screens, the family is now exporting great coffee to North America on the Direct Trade basis, via our partner Orange Brown, from the farm to your cup.

Eclipse Coffee Roasters is a specialty coffee roaster based in the picturesque mountain town of Canmore, Alberta. Established in 2014 with the goal of not only sourcing and roasting exceptional coffee but also to provide a personal touch with great customer service.
Approachable - Honesty and transparency is key to everything we do. We understand that everyone has different opinions as to what makes a great tasting cup of coffee and we try to be as accommodating as possible to those individual tastes. We carry around 10-15 different coffees at any one time and roast these coffees to highlight the natural flavours within them. From light fruity African coffees to bolder chocolatey blends we pride ourselves on having something for all without sacrificing quality. This is backed up by our numerous awards in roasting competitions across the continent.

Quality - Everything that is roasted here at Eclipse is freshly roasted to order so you can rest assured that the coffee you are receiving is as fresh as possible upon arrival. For each coffee you will find a detailed description, found on the product pages of our websites, of how it is roasted and how we think that coffee is best brewed. This we would say is a guide to brewing the coffee rather than a recommendation as we still want you to have fun exploring and experimenting within the world of specialty coffee.

Sustainability - All of our coffees go through an independent screening process to ensure the coffee is not only grown environmentally responsibly, but also in a socially responsible way. These findings are shared on our website alongside the coffee description so that you know exactly where and how the coffee you are drinking is grown. Rest assured that our single origin coffee is sourced from only the best farms around the world and we reward these great farms by paying above the market price to help them further develop their coffees and also provide support to their local communities.

Reducing our environmental footprint within our cafes is also hugely important to us. One of the biggest ways we do this is by offering a 50c discount on any drink that is served in a reusable cup and for anyone who is unable to take advantage of this all our single use cups are compostable. We also encourage our customers, who are able to, to bring in reusable containers to the roastery for coffee bean purchases in exchange for a discount on their purchase.
