Excellent geographical location and quality climate environment create a unique soil, high-level boutique coffee is also born here. The farm itself has a 300-hectare tropical rainforest reserve, of which the most striking symbol of Seitao / Shenmu Manor is the 40-meter-long sacred tree Cariniana legalis, which, according to the owner's rough estimate, has grown here for more than 1500 years.

The owner of Sertau / Shenmu Manor is Jos é Renato Gon ç alves Dias, who, according to the owner, has been producing crops since 1948 to this day; the farm itself is produced using only organic fertilizers to provide plant nutrients to keep the land alive. The estate, which has about 160 lifelong employees, provides a good and sustainable living environment, includes sound health and medical plans, trains workers in their professional development, and has a school to provide a good school environment for their children.

Seitao / Shenmu Manor's coffee is completely different from the general large Brazilian coffee estate. it does not use machines instead of manpower, and the coffee berries are all processed by hand. The harvesting workers in the park only collect fully ripe coffee cherries and send them to a pulper for pulp removal or directly laid out in the courtyard for sun exposure. After the completion of the post-processing method, the raw coffee beans are packed in gunny bags, and the average moisture content is reduced to 11%. After being transferred to the wooden warehouse for 30 days, the coffee beans can be exported. Finally, each batch of coffee will be carefully screened by density and electronic color sorter before the whole production process can be completed. In addition, Seitao / Shenmu Manor has also passed the ISO certification 9001 Quality Management System 2002, which means that Zhuangyuan itself can precisely control the production quality and output of raw coffee beans. "A production batch has its own files and complete historical records, providing the owner to trace the production process to control the quality. In addition, Zhuangyuan itself has also passed the certification of UTZ sustainable management Certified systems, and joined the BSCA Brazilian Fine Coffee Association (Brazil Specialty Coffee Association).

Among the two estates owned by Jos é Reinado Goncalves Diaz, in addition to this excellent Sertau / Kamiki estate, there is another very well-known sister estate, namely, the world-renowned Brazilian COE Champion Manor Queen Manor. Over the years, the two estates have won numerous awards in the COE Excellence Cup and become popular all over the world.
