Sitio Cafundo Coffee

Valter Dias is the owner of Sitio Cafundo coffee farm. the Farm is situated in a community called Barra Grande, a small village 10 km North of Poco Fundo in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. He has been growing coffee here for over 15 years. With the help of his brother Wagner, they have invested time and energy separating the lots, organising harvest schedule, and properly drying their coffee – small batches at a time.

Besides the conventional cemented patio, they have added a ventilated static box that allows warm air to flow evenly drying the cherries. This box enhances natural fermentation resulting in a more complex profile.

“We are extremely happy with quality. Feedback received is encouraging and we are very optimistic for future harvests”, says Mr. Dias.
