History 

​

Eduardo represents the third generation of coffee growers in his family, whose tradition in coffee production dates back to his grandparents, who dedicated their lives to cultivation in the microregion of Areias, in Ilicínea. From an early age, he was immersed in this world, closely accompanying his grandparents and uncles in their daily farm activities and the artisanal production of traditional regional sweets.

Although his parents pursued different paths, Eduardo kept his passion for coffee alive, actively assisting his grandparents in managing the property. After his grandmother's passing, the farm was divided among the heirs, and the main estate, along with some coffee plantations, remained under the care of Eduardo and his parents. In addition to the inherited lands, he acquired a new area, where he introduced different coffee varieties, always striving for innovation and excellence.

Committed to sustainability and environmental preservation, Eduardo blends tradition with modernity in coffee production. His background as an agricultural technician and philosopher reflects his pursuit of knowledge and continuous improvement, solidifying his role as a visionary producer dedicated to quality and his family's legacy.
