History

Leonardo is from a large family of coffee producers and since he was a child always played in coffee farms. When young, Leonardo went to live in the capital of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, to study medicine. But even as a doctor, Leonardo did not give up working again with coffee. The family farm was run by his brother who eventually became discouraged and invited Leonardo to help him. Nowadays, Leonardo and his family are always on the farm on weekends and coffee harvesting season to keep up with all the processes and ensure excellent batch quality.
