Fazenda Santa Ines is located in the autonomous city of Carmo de Minas in the south of Minas Gerais, at the foot of the Mantiqueira Mountains. When the farm was acquired by the Sertao Group in 1979, it had already grown coffee. Soon after that, more land was planted, new concrete drying platforms were built, and washing machines, dryers and processors were installed. Sertao Group is highly committed to environmental protection, preserving a large area of native forest in the project, protecting all mountain springs, streams and vegetation on both sides of the project.

The social responsibility of the farm was also taken seriously: 13 houses were built for workers and their families, including the necessary infrastructure, including water, electricity and drainage systems. These houses are home to 35 employees and their families, a total of 80 people. The rest of the workers' families live in Olimpio Noronha. In addition to wages, all families have access to milk, coffee, medicine and other assistance, as well as access to football fields, battlefield and venues for entertainment and sports. It is easy for the children who are studying to get to school: buses pass by the door several times a day to take them to school.

Because of the terrain, cherry picking in Fazenda Santa Ines has always been done by hand, and cherries are collected on a piece of cloth. This precaution is taken so that the coffee will not be contaminated or lose its quality. Once the cherries are picked, they are taken to Fazenda do Sertao, another partner in the Selto Group, where they are washed, pulped and spread out to obtain high-quality products. According to the concept of Sertao Group's continuous efforts to improve the quality of coffee, employees from Fazenda Santa Ines often visit coffee growing sites at home and abroad to exchange experiences with other growers and strive to improve the quality of coffee.

Cup shape: Fazenda Santa Ines is a very sweet, bright coffee with a hint of lemon and cloves. Good fruit penetration, more natural than most from Brazil. The characteristics of citrus are amazing, but it has a subtle texture and hierarchical, complex taste. Very aromatic, with a chocolate-like body, a creamy palate and a long, sweet finish. Clean, sweet and well processed. An outstanding cup and outstanding value.

Baking notes: we prefer to stop this cup of coffee before the second crack begins to maintain the citrus flavor and luster.
