Brazil Dry Process Sítio Três Barras

This coffee is from Ednei Geraldo de Carvalho, whose farm "Sítio Três Barras" is located in Santa Rita de Caldas part of the South Minas region. At just 3 hectares, his farm is quite small by Brazilian standards. It also has very good altitude for Brazil, topping out at 1300 meters, and planted in Catuaí coffee variety. Ednei grew up on this land, and while most of his childhood it was planted in coffee, his father removed the coffee to focus on cattle when Ednei was a child. It wasn't until Endei had his own kids that they revived the coffee plantings at Sítio Três Barras once more. This coffee was purchased through an exporter in Minas Geraís who we were introduced to last year. We were really impressed with the quality of the samples they sent us. Dani, who manages operations and is a farmer herself, offered us access to a lot of new opportunities around Minas Geraís, working with small farmers like Marta and Evandro.
