The Farm History
“The propriety is an inheritance from my grandfather, Mr. Vicente Garcia de Oliveira. In 1953
he planted the first coffee tree in his farm. From that time to these days, the farm has been
passed through my grandfather, to my father and now, i`m taking care of it, keeping the
family transition on coffee growing. Back in the days, I always remember my dad saying that
the coffee was the base of our family. Our livelihood comes from the effort that we put in our
farm.”
Processing system:
All the process is manual. We hand pick from the tree using a cloth and then fanned. After
that, we spread in really thin lovers in our patio, and we turn the coffee around in every 20
minutes do decrease chances of fermentation. As time goes by during the drying, we check
the bean humidity. And when it reaches 11-11,5 % of humidity, we put the coffee into a dark
room to give it some rest. After this resting time, when we think that the coffee is ready to go,
we send it to COCARIVE (Carmo de Minas Cooperative).
Quality facts
“Looking forward to produce quality coffee, we always search for an agronomic engineer
opinion so we take soil and leaves to be analyzed and we ask for the engineer to give
orientation on type and quantity of fertilizer, to help the three life.
We are always looking to reach the perfect nutrition balance to grow and crop a fruit full of
quality.”
