Cultivated at an altitude of 1,300 meters, the microlot was harvested at the Armadillo Site, by producer Pedro Brás, in the municipality of Vargem Bonita. From the Catuaí Amarelo variety, it was discovered by coffee Hunter Ensei Neto, who presented the coffee to Melitta, who then bought the small lot at an auction.
Pedro Brás Producer of the farn
“Harvesting during the full moon causes the fruit to receive a greater flow of sap, retaining nutrients and sugars, and when it is done at night, the grains remain cooler and with harder peels, increasing sugar levels, which helps in preserving the aroma and taste,” explains the producer.
