about:
Brazil is the world's leading coffee producer, known mostly for it's nutty, full bodied beans that are primarily used in blends. Mallard Coffee owners Alexis Lessa and Sander Ribeiro Lessa have flipped that narrative, importing some of the highest quality Brazilian coffee we have ever tasted.
This gem comes from the Pimenta Family in the mountains of Espirito Santo. They planted their first coffee seed in 1984 upon acquiring their first farm in Venda Nova do Imigrante. Now they have three generations working in their coffee business. The entire process, from planting to sale, is divided among the family members. The youngest son and his mother are responsible for the processing and drying area, while the others work in production, quality control and coffee sales. The family always seeks to learn and apply new techniques to improve their product, culminating in a first place finish in the 2020 Brazilian Cup of Excellence. The Pimenta family coffees are characterized by a long finish, creamy body, and flavors of honey, brown sugar, white rose, orange, loquat and curau de milho, a traditional Brazilian sweet corn pudding.

what customers say
I ordered Succulent Coffee online and everything about the experience was impeccable...the Finca Dulce Luna was my favorite and the Ninth is on my list to try next!

Great service, fabulous coffee. Although, we love trying their different varieties, the Ninth is a MUST to get my day started! We first tried their coffee when we were in Balboa, and have had monthly shipments sent to Austin ever since!
Julie Z.
Great coffee and copious positive vibes. Succulent roasts their own coffee beans and supports the communities throughout the globe that grow them. They have a blend to match the taste of every coffee drinker!

We love their coffee so much that we buy 5 lbs. at a time, and we brew it at home!
