Introduction to the manor

Brazil COE third Runner-up Santeo / Shenmu Manor is located in the southern mountains of Minas Gerais, with an altitude of about 1200 meters, an average annual temperature of 19 °C (66 °F) and an average annual rainfall of 1600 mm. Excellent geographical location and quality climate create a unique soil, high-quality boutique coffee is also bred here. The farm itself has a 300-hectare tropical rain forest reserve, of which the most striking symbol is the Shenmu Cariniana legalis, which is more than 40 meters long, which, according to the owner's rough estimate, has been growing here for more than 1500 years.

San Theo / Kamiki Manor is owned by Jos é Renato Gon?alves Dias Goncalves Diaz, 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.

The coffee of Santeo / Shenmu Manor is completely different from that of a large Brazilian manor. it does not use machines instead of manpower, from the harvest of coffee berries to post-processing, all done 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 sacks and the average moisture content is reduced to 11%. They are transferred to a wooden warehouse for 30 days before they can be exported. In the end, each batch of coffee will be carefully screened by density and electronic color sorter before the whole production process can be completed.

In addition, Shengtai'o / 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 San Theo / Kamiki estate, there is another very well-known sister estate, namely, the world-renowned Brazilian COE Champion Manor [Queen's Manor]. Over the years, the two estates have won numerous awards in the COE Excellence Cup and become popular all over the world.
