ALFONSO – BRAZIL

About this coffee

This current lot is from Afonso in Minas Gerais, Elói Mendes. The history of the farm began with Afonso’s father, Jaci, who always saw farming as a way of life. From an early age, Afonso fell in love with farming and this passion encouraged his father to get started. His journey began with a small property with just 145 coffee trees, producing 4 bags (2 for him and 2 for his wife). Over the years, Afonso invested in new land and improved the quality of his production, reaping the rewards of his hard work and dedication. In 2001, he became a Minasul cooperative member. Today, Afonso works side by side with his wife, Jaísa, continuing the legacy started by his father. Together, they dream of passing on this tradition to their children, ensuring that the passion for agriculture lives on in their family for many generations to come.
