3 - Sítio Pedro Varinhas - Brazil 2024 (Wet)

Today Sítio Pedro Varinhas, a family farm, is run by three brothers and their wives. Brothers Ercelei José de Oliveira, Pedro Junior de Oliveira and Elcimar de Oliveira are third-generation coffee producers.
Two of the brothers’ wives, both young adults, Angelica de Fátima, Ercilei José’s wife, and Ângela Maria da Costa, Pedro Junior’s wife, help with the harvest and drying of the coffee produced on the farm.
As soon as the coffee arrives from the fields, it is first handled on the farm in a shaker to remove leaves, sticks and stones and soon after it is taken to a DCC/M huller with a capacity of 520 liters per hour in an artisan process that always prioritizes high-quality production of each lot. The property is Fairtrade certified through the COORPOL cooperative.
