Overview

Located at the Municipality of Araponga, State of Minas Gerais, quite close to the urban zone (approximately 50 meters), the Sítio da Cachoeira received its name because the waters from a beautiful waterfall cross its land. In the areas where coffee is planted, at altitudes above 900 meters, the average temperature is 18ºC, with 1,200mm of annual rainfalls.

Coffee processing system

Harvesting begins in May, and the beans are picked manually on cloth. After the beans are washed, the coffee is transferred to the pulper. One the beans have been pulped, they are carried to the suspended terrace to dry.

Concern with quality

The owner is always looking for the most recent information related to how to develop the best techniques to produce quality coffees, at agricultural associations, agencies and entities.
