Years later, the paths of the two crossed, Hudson married the eldest daughter of Valdeci, and thus began to realize the dream of two producers, who had the opportunity to acquire a property with high altitude and believed in what they all said to be impossible, to produce special coffees in the mountains that of God received of gift. It was at the junction of a family seeking the same ideal.
