Clearly one of the best coffees roasted in Portland. Nossa Familia gets all of their green coffee beans from their family farm in Brazil. They've been growing coffee in the rich fertile lands of Brazil for over 100 years and the taste can't be matched. With superb roasting skills to bring out the best of the coffee bean flavor, you simply can't help but love their coffee.

This is one of our favorite little roasters. Jeremy and Andrea have been working hard to produce one of the finest coffees you've ever tasted.
