Clifftop's ever-present Rancho Grande is a sweet, nutty, and chocolatey delight. Like most Brazils, Rancho Grande has big body and low acidity making it great for espresso drinks. It also has enough complexity for those who like drinking their coffee black or filter.

Coffee production began at Rancho Grande Farm in 1933, when Mr. Aneite Reis inherited 5 hectares of crops to start production. Today, the farm is run by José Carlos Reis and his son Flávio Reis, both son and grandson of Mr. Aneite. The mission of the farm is to responsibly produce coffee of the highest possible quality without neglecting the importance of protecting the environment and caring for the well-being of its employees. Several employees live on the farm in houses provided with subsidised electricity and food. On the farm they are open to change and trying new techniques and they have invested in several static drying boxes to help improve the quality & profile of the coffee they could produce. They have been working hard on improving the quality of their coffees for the specialty market and working on all aspects of the production of these lots from the growing, picking and post harvest treatment.
