History of the farm
Fazenda Sertãozinho has a total area of 1300 hectares, with 400 hectares planted with coffee. The oldest crops on the farm date back to 1948. Most of the workers live on the farm itself and are duly provided with health and dental plans. The symbol of Fazenda Sertãozinho is a 1500-year old pink cariniana tree.
Coffee processing system
Coffee picking only occurs at peak maturation. The beans are picked by hand over cloths to avoid contact with the ground. After being picked, the coffee cherries are washed and spread on patios for drying. They dry slowly under reaching 11% humidity. After drying, the coffee is conditioned in wooden rest boxes.
This lot comes from a plot called Hasegawa,
which is the first area with organic coffee on
Fazenda Sertãozinho.
