The “Fazenda Santo Antônio” coffee is being cultivated for generations in the traditional coffee region of Mococa, Mogiana Region, Brazil.
The specialty coffee Arara was among the 150 best coffees in Brazil at the “Coffee of the Year 2023” award, which aims to bring together the best coffees in Brazil.
It all starts with selecting the best cultivars that are planted in areas above 800 m in altitude. The spacing of the coffee trees in each plot is defined according to the topographical characteristics of the area to avoid self-shading or excessive insolation.
The cultural dealings follow the best practices recommended by specialists. Every year, soil samples are taken from all coffee plots and analyzed to define soil correction and nutrient replacement. Scrubbing, proper management of weeds, pests and diseases follows the model of sustainability and seeks to respect the environment.
Harvesting is always planned in detail in order to obtain a high-quality coffee. It is done manually and carefully on the cloth.
After harvesting the coffee is washed and cleaned for the elimination of impurities and separation of the fruits with different densities for a uniform drying.
Pre-drying is carried out in paved brick-areas and final drying is performed in mechanical dryers, preserving coffee quality. The specialty coffees are dried in “raised beds”.
The coffee is stored in special wood containers until it is processed.
