Maria Clara, 18, with her organizational and administrative skills, helps run the company’s internal processes.
The organic Geisha coffee participating in COE 2024 is the result of a meticulous process beginning with organic plating, in which the soil is naturally nourished, and the plants are grown in the mountains. The harvest was done by hand, selecting only the ripe fruits. Next, the coffee underwent wet process pulping, in which the pulp is removed from the coffee beans. Drying was done under the sun on African beds, with care taken to preserve the natural quality of the beans. This sequence of processes, together with the quality of the Geisha variety, resulted in a coffee with an exceptional flavor, that has won over the most demanding palates. Attention to details at each stage of production, from growing to drying, ensures the excellence of Fazendas Dutra’s organic Geisha coffees.
Fazendas Dutras is an example of successful family agriculture, combining tradition and innovation.
