DARE TO DREAM!
THE INTELLIGENCE BEHIND THE ORIGIN
For over two decades, our founder Edgard Bressani spent 180 days a year traveling the globe, sitting at the cupping tables and boardrooms of the world’s most demanding buyers. He mapped their sensory preferences, analyzed their business challenges, and identified a massive gap in the market: Global roasters didn't just need access to Brazilian farms; they needed strategic curation.Latitudes was built to be that bridge. Combining a deep background in global market strategy with unmatched sensory expertise, Edgard’s vision was never just to sell green coffee, but to curate exactly what a client’s business needs to thrive.
A FOUNDATION OF EXPERTISE AND STABILITY
Flawless execution requires a world-class team. In 2022, Latitudes solidified its executive board with industry veterans Adriano Reis, Davi Giolo, and Milton Augusto. Having operated alongside Edgard for up to 15 years, they bring decades of combined operational and logistical excellence to our clients. Looking ahead, we offer our international partners something rare in this industry: guaranteed long-term stability. With Felipe Bressani prepared to step in as the next-generation CEO, Latitudes ensures a seamless succession, meaning the portfolios we build for you today are protected for decades to come.

BEYOND TRADITIONAL EXPORTING
We are not a traditional exporter. We are an intelligence hub focused on mapping Brazil's immense diversity. From the extreme-altitude Arabicas of the mountains to the groundbreaking Fine Robustas (Canephoras) of the Amazon, we break old paradigms.We know the exact profiles the world wants to drink. Now, we curate the portfolios to deliver them.
UNLOCKING A CONTINENT OF FLAVOR
Latitudes operates as a master curator of the Brazilian coffee landscape. While traditional sourcing restricts you to a handful of farms, our intelligence network covers the entire country.
We don't just reduce distances; we eliminate borders. We map, evaluate, and select the finest Arabicas and Amazonian Canephoras across all 42 producing regions in Brazil—from the extreme north of the Amazon down to the southern frost-touched soils of Paraná.
With over two decades of sensory and market expertise, our specialists act as your eyes and palate on the ground. We navigate this vast diversity to secure precisely what your portfolio demands, giving you direct access to the best lots of the country, curated by a single, trusted partner.
