Irrigated, technology-intensive coffee in western Bahia, at roughly 700-1,100 m.
Oeste da Bahia is the western Bahia farming zone, distinguished by intensive technology and precision irrigation at roughly 700-1,100 m. Its coffees are described as naturally sweet and full-bodied, with chocolate, caramel and ripe-fruit notes. INPI granted its Indicação de Procedência in 2019, covering land from 700 m altitude in 11 municipalities including Barreiras, Luís Eduardo Magalhães and São Desidério.
