Nobletree started with the belief that the best coffee is delivered 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 and grinding process.
We roast daily in small batches so we can manually control all stages of the roasting process. We roast by hand and maintain strict quality control to ensure a consistent cup each and every time. We pride ourselves on delivering fresh, complex coffees with every order.
Nobletree’s vertically integrated business model is unique for the coffee industry.
Through our dedicated work as farmers and roasters, our customers continue to expect a dynamic and diverse portfolios of micro-lots and single origin coffees from our privately-owned farms, Fazenda Santa Izabel and Fazenda Monte Verde in Minas Gerais.
We’ve spent the past few years working to understand the variables that affect 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.
Our dedicated agronomy team carefully selects the coffee varietals most suited to the farms’ microclimates and monitors cultivation through the latest agriculture techniques. Nobletree’s coffees are separated and processed in small batches using diverse processing methods unlock each coffee’s singular attributes. The result is an array of flavorful coffees with fully traceable and transparent histories.
Transparency is fundamental to Nobletee. The nature of our product allows us to have insight into every aspect of our supply chain as well as 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 to be one of the most rigorous and comprehensive food safety standards in the world.
Still, much of our work on our farms are 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.
Focusing on long-term sustainability, our farms are among the first in the world to employ coffee tree terracing, which aids in soil conservation and helps prevent rainwater runoff, a serious cause of soil erosion.
Soil preservation is a significant advance 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.
Plus we are committed to indigenous flora and fauna, including 200 hectares of preserved flora and fauna on our Monte Verde Farm.
Both our farms are Rain Forest Alliance Certified.
Our state-of-the-art roasting facility is located in Red Hook, Brooklyn. — located on the water with expansive views of the Statue of Liberty. The roasting facility has been developed to produce a world-class gourmet coffee. With a temperature and humidity controlled green coffee storage area, and vintage, rebuilt Probat roasters, all combined with an SCAA certified teaching lab, every detail has been designed to maximize our coffee production.
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 convenient catchphrase; for us, coffee—from the fertile ground of our farms to the perfect pout—is an all-encompassing way of life.
This comprehensive, inclusive understanding of the ways in which coffee connects people to the environment and to each other is what we strive to offer you with every bean and every cup.
Our roasting plant is located in the historic shipping port of Red Hook, Brooklyn.
At this facility, Nobletree’s sourcing, QC, and the roasting team (include multiple licensed Q-Graders) hand craft the best coffee possible. With a temperature and humidity controlled green coffee storage area, the beans are protected before they are small batched and roasted under high temperatures.
After the roast, the coffee is left to cool, and then collected, labelled and bagged. The quality control room is where coffee is sourced, 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 about 12 to 30 cups of coffee a day and figures 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.
