History

Wilson was born and raised in the mountainous region of Alto Caparaó, which has the perfect altitude and microclimate to grow specialty coffees. Growing up working with family on a coffee plantation meant he could rely on their help to overcome the various difficulties that arose when he started his own plantation. Now he is proud to produce his own micro lots of specialty coffees and is quite confident that he will continue to improve the quality of his crop.

Coffee Processing System

The harvest is always hand-picked. After the picking, the cherries are washed and dried. As of 2020, he began using suspended beds for the drying process in order to produce cleaner coffees of higher quality. Once the cherries are dry, the coffee is taken to wooden bins for a period of at least 30-40 days to rest.

Future

For Wilson the future has already started with his coffees being exported to Europe. It fills him with pride and satisfaction that his work is being recognised and appreciated worldwide. He knows that by growing specialty coffees he can provide a good life for himself and his family.
