About: 

840 hectares are dedicated to coffee production,
and 566 hectares are set aside for preservation. The
family impacts the local economy by employing 87 local
workers and 199 temporary workers.
The Arara variety is a distinguished coffee in Brazil,
showcasing its high-quality attributes in coffee
competitions organized by the Brazilian Specialty Coffee
Association (BSCA). Arara is a natural mutation between
the Obatá variety and Yellow Icatu. It is high-yielding and
resistant to borer beetles and other pests.
It is known as the “Brazilian Gesha” because its quality
and cup profile performance have scored 90 points on
several occasions.
This coffee is picked manually, then hand-sorted to select
the best cherries. The coffee cherries are fermented for
48 hours under aerobic conditions. Afterward, the coffees
are transferred to a concrete patio for 15 days to sun-dry
until they achieve the ideal moisture content.
