Edgar...went to the Ipanema website. One of the most artistically beautiful I have ever seen. I am working on a project and have questions about Brasilian coffee blends now being used for commercial Brasilian-domestic blends, ie, "Pilao", or the old "Cafe do Ponto" marcas. What is the best way to contact you? Do you have a phone number I can call?
