Waterfall Manor is a legendary Brazilian manor that has won six CoE victories.

From the first year 1999, she won the victory. This year is an important year in the history of boutique coffee. The internationally renowned national CoE Coffee Competition was launched in Brazil in 1999, and then Waterfall Manor won six CoE competitions in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2006. Not only that, the whole family manor also won two championships.

Waterfall Manor has been planted by the Carvalho Dias family since 1890. Internationally renowned under the Lindolpho de Carvalho Dias planting management, won a number of competition awards, especially the CoE contest, listed in the CoE list of winners and buyers from all over the world, the popularity is even higher, Lindolpho's son Gabriel de Carvalho Dias is also quite excellent, as the general manager of the role to help his father win in 2004, 2004, 2005, 2006, the third consecutive year! When Osher bid for the Brazilian Champion Hope Manor last year, he began to arrange the purchase of this excellent CoE 6-win Falls Manor, and now it has finally arrived!

The Falls Manor is very close to Minas Gerais state, only 3 miles away, and the nearby terrain belongs to the high-altitude producing area, which is geographically connected with Mogiana and Sul de Minas (South Minas), so the climate is quite similar, and it belongs to the boutique manor producing area at middle and high altitude.

100% of the agricultural work of Falls Manor depends on manual work from planting to harvest, because there are many steep or terraced landforms in the manor, so it is impossible to use any machinery to do planting or harvesting assistance, but because the manor has excellent microclimate and fertile soil, and retains most of the primitive forests, it takes good care of the staff's life, and the waterfall manor gets more care because of its favorable climate and fertile soil. The record of many awards is the honor of the family, which is far earlier than the Queen's Manor of the same family and is one of the estates designated by many European boutique buyers.

Waterfall Manor, Fazenda Cachoeira in Portuguese: Fazenda Cachoeira, owned by the famous and respected coffee family Carvalho Dias family, which belongs to the brother manor of Fazenda Rainha imported by Osher last year. The "Carvalho Dias" family (that is, the Ottoni family) has been growing coffee in Brazil's famous coffee producing areas since 1890, and it has been the fourth generation so far. At present, the fourth generation operators have the following characteristics: extremely focused, technology-oriented, proud of boutique coffee growers and high market sensitivity.

For example, under the keen demand of the boutique coffee market, these operators provide yellow bourbon and other high-quality varieties as well as the pulped natural process method, even though the climate of some farms is actually not suitable for Pulped Natural or even, on the contrary, these operators invest in modern equipment to overcome this climate problem in order to meet the quality requirements of the boutique market.

The Carvalho Dias family is the founding member of the Brazilian Fine Coffee Association. The persistence of coffee quality and the maintenance of the environment are obvious to all. In the family farm, the use of natural waterfalls to develop pollution-free hydropower, self-sufficient electricity demand, and take this waterfall as the name of the manor, Cachoeira means waterfall in English. Churches, classrooms, nurseries and medical stations are also built. because of the high terrain and non-plain terrain, it is impossible to harvest by machine and harvest the fruit completely by hand. And plant yellow bourbon species with low yield and high quality.

In the case of Falls Manor, it also has its own schools, clubs and football grounds for official matches (since I have been to South America several times, I have found that a good free football field is often an important factor in the willingness of good employees to stay). The whole manor has 47 dormitories, all equipped with modern facilities (do not be surprised, coffee plantation owners are showing off these facilities, because most coffee-producing countries belong to low-income areas, many coffee farmers still live in earthen-wall houses, and do not have modern bathroom facilities), and there is a church and a clinic, the family insists that primitive forests of native animals and plants must be maintained. And take continuous monitoring of afforestation and environmental maintenance.

Several estates owned by Carvalho Dias have won awards every year since the first Brazilian COE Competition in 1999, and have won more than 14 awards in the past seven years. It is with the above spirit and providing staff satisfactory benefits that they can continue to produce high-quality coffee in an excellent manor environment. In 2004, they won the championship, ninth and 11th (that is, Waterfall Manor).

Many coffee farms in Brazil have been hoping to be shortlisted for many years, but it is difficult to find them, but this family has won many awards in successive years, especially the record of CoE winning manor for seven years in a row, which is by far the best among Brazilian boutique coffee groups.
