The story of these coffee farms began in 1820 with Grandmother Mrs. Maria, when she arrived at Caparao land, located at the border between Espírito Santo, Brazilian state, and Minas Gerais. Maria was a widow with 12 children. On that occasion, everything in the close forest started being cleaned manually with an ax and sickle to prepare its plantations.
For a long time, she grew animals like pigs, chickens, and vegetables in the new land, which was a trend at that time. After that, she started planting coffee seeds directly on the soil, as there was no nursery available at that time.
The property was passed on from generation to generation until it reached Mr. Geovane and Viviane’s hands. They replaced old plantations with new trees. In 2018, they started working on specialty coffees, improved post-harvest processes, began selective harvesting, and invested in processes like honey, black honey, fermentation, and pulped natural.
They cultivate coffee varieties like Red Catuai, 2SN Yellow, Caturra, Arara, Cova 15 Yellow, and 785 Yellow. Nowadays, they are proud to show all the awards they achieved based on the results of experiments on micro-lots that were sent to several contests and competitions.
