History of the farm

Located in Olímpio Noronha, Minas Gerais, Sítio Nossa Senhora da Mata is part of the Mantiqueira de Minas Geographical Indication (IP) region, which has an origin and quality seal and is today the most awarded region in Brazil. The area is privileged for its great climatic conditions, well-defined seasons and rich soils. The crops are located from 1100 to 1200 meters. The Silva family has done beautiful work cultivating coffee and reaped excellent results in quality contests. The farm is committed to sustainable coffee growing with good agricultural practices and preservation of natural resources. Emerson is a member of Cocarive (Rio Verde Valley Regional Coffee) which supports members at all stages of production. Picking is done by hand over cloths to avoid the beans touching the ground. The coffee is dried on cement patios and may, if necessary, finish drying in a mechanical drier until it reaches the ideal humidity. After drying, the coffee is taken to wooden rest boxes for a period of rest of at least 30 days. Finally, the coffee is processed and deposited at Cocarive, which has a tech of professionals responsible for cupping, preparing and commercializing the lots.
