History of the farm
The propriety is an inheritance from the producer’s grandfather, Mr. Vicente Garcia de Oliveira. In 1953, he planted the first coffee tree on his farm. From then until now, the farm has been passed from grandfathe to father and now to the producer, who is taking care of it, carrying on the family tradition of coffee growing. Back in the days, he remembers my father saying that coffee was the foundation of our family and that their livelihood came from the e ort that they put into the farm.
Coffee processing system
Score: 88.60
All the processing is manual. The coffee is hand-picked from the tree using cloths and then sieves. After that, it is spread in very thin layers on patios, and raked about every 20 minutes to decrease the chance of fermentation. As time goes by during the drying, bean humidity is checked. When it reaches 11-11.5% humidity, the coffee goes into a dark room to rest. After this resting time, it is sent to COCARIVE (Carmo de Minas Cooperative).
Concern about quality
Seeking to produce quality coffee, the producer always searches for an agronomist’s opinion, takes soil and leaves to be analyzed and asks for the engineer to give guidance on the type and quantity of fertilizer to help the trees thrive. He is always looking to achieve the perfect nutrition balance to grow and harvest fruit full of quality.
