The coffee is grown in Sul de Minas – the southernmost region in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. Due to the climatic conditions resulting from its location, it is the most important state for coffee cultivation, accounting for around 70% of all Brazilian Arabica cultivation – the average temperature is between 17-24 degrees Celsius and is therefore almost perfect for Arabica cultivation. Fazenda Passeio is one of the larger farms in the state. It has been family-owned for four generations and Adolfo Henrique Vieira Ferreira, the farm manager, places a strong focus on the social welfare of his employees by paying bonuses, providing infrastructure for the families and promoting further training. As no harvesting machines can be used on the fazenda due to the predominantly hillside location, the coffee cherries are picked by hand – atypical for Brazilian coffee cultivation – but Adolfo is convinced that the increased workload has a positive effect on the quality of the coffee!
