About the coffee

Fazenda Salto is an 800 Ha farm run by Fabio and his sons André and Juca. They are always striving to produce quality coffee by aiming for excellence. Fabio is always aware of the importance of sustainability, environmental responsibility, and social concerns on their farm. They have made investments in modern technology and practices to embrace the emergence of specialty coffee. For example, they have installed new static drying boxes at the farm as well as building a stable of raised beds to produce high quality lots. They have also mapped out the farm as well as allocating different parcels to different processes to optimize the best result in the cup. This natural lot was machine harvested and then separated by density and ripeness with ripe cherries being selected. From here the coffee was taken to dry on the patios and turned regularly until it reached 11.35 % moisture. Then the coffee was rested in wooden silos for 10 days before being milled and bagged and taken to the cooperative.
