Brazil arrival 3/3 Serrado Serrado is small farm located in Carmo de Minas, in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. This is the families 5th generation in coffee, José Antonio Pereira, his wife Valeria, his son Caio and Felipe all help manage the farm. Coffee is the main but not the only focus of the farm. We love it and every year we try to make higher quality! The altitude of the farm is 1100 to 1200 meters above the sea level. The varietals we grow are Acaiá, Mundo Novo, Y...ellow Catucaí and Yellow Bourbon. During the harvest the coffee is picked manually to avoid any cherries dropping to the floor. The coffee is collected three times a day and transported to the mill where it can be processed as Natural, Fully Washed, Honey or Pulped Natural. In addition to coffee, seeking sustainability the farm also has Dairy Cattle, which supplies us with most of the fertilizer required by the coffee plantation and has a photovoltaic plant the supplies all the power needed to produce coffee and milk. @fazenda_do_serrado - - - - #brazil #coffee #greencoffee #specialtycoffee #coffeeroaster #serrado #wcct #westcoastcoffeetraders #vancouver #canada @e2coffee_ @ Carmo de Minas

Brazil arrival 2/3 Sítio da Capela Sítio da Capela is a small farm in Carmo de Minas, Brazil, focused only on producing high quality coffee. The farm is managed by Caio Pereira, his father Jose Antonio and brother Felipe. The farm was originally part of neighbouring Serrado but was later divided off and leased back to the father, sons team. Capela means a small church or just a chapel. This name is given to this land because there is a beautiful chapel built in the center of... the area. At Sítio da Capela the variety grown is Red Acaiá between the altitudes of 1130 to 1180 meters above the sea level. Capela can produce Full Natural, Fully Washed, Honey or Pulped Natural coffees depending on demands. Capela uses photovoltaic energy to process all the coffee produced. Photovoltaic solar energy is a clean, renewable source of energy that uses solar radiation to produce electricity. It is based on the so-called photoelectric effect, by which certain materials are able to absorb photons (light particles) and release electrons, generating an electric current. - - - - #brazil #brazilcoffee #greencoffee #coffee #coffeeroaster #sitiodecapela #carmodeminas #wcct #westcoastcoffeetraders #canada #vancouver @e2coffee_ @ Carmo de Minas See more

1/3 new arrivals from Brazil -Fazenda Santa Helena is located in Carmo de Minas, in the south of Minas Gerais, in the Sierra da Mantiqueira region. It has an altitude of 950 to 1,300 masl and has amazing soil quality and exceptional climate for the production of specialty coffees. Not to mention the farms well kept natural surroundings being totally preserved to deliver breathtaking landscapes pictured above. The family is in the fourth generation of coffee production. Ernan...e and his sister Eleny manage the Fazenda. The farm is not mechanized, so all crop management is done by hand. This ends up generating a higher cost in production, but shows through in the high quality we produce because of the extra care that has been taken during all stages or production. - - - - - #brazil #brasil #coffee #greencoffee #specilatycoffee #coffeeroaster #fazendasantahelena @e2coffee_ #wcct #vancouver #canada @ Carmo de Minas See more
