And that's how she fell in love with coffee, with the stories and especially with the tradition of her family, which has always been producing coffee.
Nowadays, Julia works on the farm, in the company of her godfather Lúcio, and together they seek succession, bringing new ideas and technologies to maintain this legacy.
