Nobletree started with the belief that the best coffee comes directly from the farm to your table.
Our quality begins with the soil, harvested beans, and sustainable farming practices. It ends with our artisan roasting process.
We roast daily in small batches so we can manually control all stages of the process. We craft by hand and maintain strict quality control to ensure a consistent cup each and every time. We pride ourselves on delivering fresh, complex, specialty coffees with every order.
Nobletree’s direct path supply chain business model is unique within the coffee industry.
Through our dedicated work as farmers and roasters, our customers continue to expect a dynamic and diverse portfolio of micro-lot and single-origin coffees from our privately-owned farms, Fazenda Santa Izabel and Fazenda Monte Verde in Minas Gerais.
Nobletree Farms is the only modern coffee roaster that controls and oversees each part of our coffee production process from crop to cup. Starting with the heritage coffee farms we own in Minas Gerais, Brazil,
We maintain complete in-house supply chain management from seed through the processing of coffee cherries, including planting, agronomy, farm management, ownership, harvesting, wet milling, dry milling, and distribution.
As farmers, our attention is focused on altitude, climate, soil, and sunlight’s contribution to developing coffee cherries and harvest timing. But our commitment and relationship with coffee only begin on the farm. We are also roasters who are never willing to give up guardianship from farm to cup.
We designed our roastery in Red Hook, Brooklyn, NY, to our specification, including two fully refurbished vintage Probat roasters.
We’ve spent the past few years working to understand the variables that affect the quality and how we can create sustainable practices. By taking ownership of our chain – from the craft of coffee farming… to the milling… to the exporting… to the roasting of our coffee… we continue to ensure the longevity of our environment, the well-being of our farm families, and a world-class coffee bean.

Nobletree’s coffees are separated and processed in small batches using diverse processing methods to unlock each coffee’s particular attributes. Our dedicated agronomy team carefully selects the coffee varietals most suited to the farms’ microclimates and monitors cultivation through the latest agriculture techniques. The result is an array of flavorful coffees with fully traceable and transparent histories.
Transparency is fundamental to Nobletree. The nature of our product allows us to have insight into every aspect of our supply chain and knowledge of where our beans are grown. That means our coffee is fresh and safe.
Our tight supply chain also means a more direct path from farms to your cup. We also hold a food safety certification from the Safe Quality Food (SQF) Food Safety Code, widely considered one of the world’s most rigorous and comprehensive food safety standards.
Still, much of our work on our farms is dedicated to investigation and experimentation, including planting new varietals at varying elevations and sun exposure and applying creative processing methods in order to yield a strong matrix of coffee offerings.
Since we monitor and control the entire production process, our coffees are inherently sustainable, and our farms are designed to endure for future generations.
Nobletree practices sustainable agronomy, incorporating soil, crop and ecology analysis for continued commercial development and sustainability in our farm communities.
Focusing on long-term sustainability, our farms are among the first in the world to employ coffee tree terracing. Coffee tree terracing aids in soil conservation and helps prevent rainwater runoff, a serious cause of soil erosion.
Soil preservation is a significant advancement for Brazilian coffee growing. In the past, there was no bush management. As a result, erosion was widespread in crops with damage to the coffee grower and the environment. Today, we focus on the soil from the moment the crop is implanted. We are also committed to indigenous flora and fauna, including 200 hectares of preserved flora and fauna on our Monte Verde Farm.
In furtherance of our commitment to sustainability, Nobletree coffee is Non-GMO certified. This means that all of our coffees are produced without genetic engineering.
Both our farms are Rain Forest Alliance Certified and Fair Trade Certified. Being Fair Trade Certified means our production process has been evaluated and audited to ensure we meet specific thresholds for fair labor practices, responsible land management, worker rights, and sustainability. The only recognized system that guarantees a minimum salary to support coffee growers through price volatility is Fair Trade.
Our roasters are never complacent, and we work tirelessly to bring you the best coffee products. The benefit of being a truly vertically integrated company is that we do not employ “Soil to Sip” as a convenient catchphrase. For us, coffee—from the fertile ground of our farms to the perfect pour—is an all-encompassing way of life.
This comprehensive, inclusive understanding of how coffee connects people to the environment and each other is what we strive to offer you with every bean and every cup.
After the roast, the coffee is left to cool and then collected, labeled, bagged, and sent to quality control. The quality control room is where coffee is judged and certified by Nobletree’s Director of Coffee and a Q grader. Our Director grinds batches of coffee and changes the aroma by adding water. Like a sommelier, he tastes 12 to 30 cups of coffee daily. He defines the parameters that will be used for roasting and eventually for public consumption.
Fazenda Monte Verde, a consistent finalist in the Brazilian Cup of Excellence Competition, is located in the municipality of Carmo de Minas in the Mantiqueira region, which has excellent growing conditions for the production of high quality coffees and is internationally recognized for coffee exports.

The Farm Santa Izabel has always been recognized for the high quality of its coffees. Nobletree Coffee Farms acquired Santa Izabel, located in the south of Minas Gerai, in 2013 and began transforming it into a sustainable, world-class coffee bean producer. By 2017, our new crops started to harvest. Now in 2020, the older sections are experiencing rejuvenation for stability and sustained growth.
