NW - Sítio Vale do Amanhecer - Brazil 2024 (Dry)

Sítio Vale do Amanhecer is located in Soledade de Minas, Minas Gerais, in the Posses neighborhood. It measures 3.58 hectares in total. In January 2018, 3700 seedlings were planted on two hectares, with 3m x 1m spacing, of the Arara variety, which is a 100% resistant and productive variety.
The annual production is around 55 bags of coffee, which are commercialized by Cocarive. Cocarive also helps the producer with guidance on crop treatment through free consultancy by agronomist technicians. In addition to care for the trees, post-harvest processing is done to ensure the highest quality of the coffee produced in the harvest.
Relying on the help of his children and his wife, producer Alcides de Oliveira Neto manages the farm with family farming and, in 2024, the harvest totaled 67 bags of unprocessed coffee.
Drying is done on the patio, with the coffee being raked all day to ensure uniform drying and that the coffee arrives on the consumer’s table with the sensorial characteristics of the Mantiqueira de Minas Designation of Origin region.
