This study’s purpose was to identify topoclimatic variables related to the sensorial quality of the coffees from Mantiqueira region in Minas Gerais. Topoclimatic conditions are strongly related to the coffee’s sensorial characteristics, however, there aren’t many studies quantifying this relation. Air temperature and precipitation data were collected and spatialized for regional analysis. These were associated to the 2007 through 2011 coffees’ drink grades. The region is stratified according to topoclimatic characteristics. The bigger frequency of high grades occurred on the region’s central-south cities, where coffee cultivation is performed above 900 m altitude. For the in loco study, meteorological data and coffee samples were collected in selected pilot areas. Coffee crops were selected in three altitude ranges: below 1000 m, between 1000 and 1200 m, and over 1200 m. Above 1000 m the meteorological variable that presented the biggest variation was the air temperature. Above 1000 m  the smallest thermal amplitude occurred, which provided superior quality coffees. The study demonstrates the importance of the topoclimatic characterization aiming to identify locations with greater vocation to the specialty coffees production.
