Deyvid Oliveira Leandro
Deyvid Oliveira Leandro’s journey in coffee began in May 2003, inspired by his early experiences helping his grandfather with post-harvest activities on the family farm, Toca da Raposa. After completing his final year of high school in Canada, Deyvid gained valuable experience in quality control and as a coffee buyer between 2012 and 2015, working with producers and one of the largest coffee cooperatives in Brazil. He later returned to Canada to open new markets for Brazilian coffee producers by collaborating with local roasters. Since 2019, Deyvid has been an integral part of DBarbosa Coffee, serving as a quality control and producer-partner at Fazenda Esperança, one of the group farms.
As a certified Q Grader since 2015, Deyvid has also contributed his expertise as a judge in prestigious competitions, including the Cup of Excellence (six national and three international editions) and the Brazilian Specialty Coffee Association-BSCA (2014–2023).
He placed first in the 2021 and 2024 Cup of Excellence and was a finalist in 2022. He won first place for Brazil’s 2nd Largest Coffee Cooperative in 2021, 2023, and 2024, and first place in regional competitions in 2021 and 2023.
With a strong foundation in quality, innovation, and market development, Deyvid continues to inspire and elevate the specialty coffee industry through his work as a producer and cup taster.
