Sourcing Details From the volumes of coffee flowing out of Minas Gerais (the largest of the three major Brazilian growing regions), we have plucked a special treat traceable to a single estate located in the protected origin of Mantiqueira de Minas region known for its rolling hills and uneven terrain. The 235 acre estate called Sitio da Torre has been owned and managed by Álvaro Antônio Pereira Coli for the last 24 years. This is the same land that his great-grandfather purchased in the late 1800s after emigrating from Italy.

Álvaro has built an impressive reputation for quality consistently recognized in the Brazil Cup of the Excellence competitions over the last decade. Processing Details During the harvest coffee cherries are floated to remove less dense and damaged coffee, and then placed on patios to dry.

After 5 days, the coffee is moved to mechanical driers to precisely finish the drying to 11 percent moisture and then carefully stored until it is time for milling and export. Exporting Details Preparation for export is done at the Cooperative of Coffee Growers of Vale do Rio Verde (COCARIVE), which was established in 1961 and currently has 660 producer-members.

At the COCARIVE dry-mill, traceability and quality control are carefully managed.
