In 1971, Mr. Ovídio José Cunha bought a small property in the city of Ribeirão Corrente in partnership with his brother. The land already had coffee planted on it, and the brothers continued to cultivate it. Their partnership later ended, and Ovídio continued his dedication to planting and expanding coffee production with the help of his two sons, José Ricardo and Ovídio Júnior.

Brothers José Ricardo and Ovídio Júnior continued with the work of coffee production, each taking on a dedicated role and always looking for innovations in labor and management to improve the quality of the final bean.

Even with all the difficulties involved in coffee production, like climate, technical management, and the market itself, the brothers have always been able to evolve and commit to their work. The experience of their father together with their new knowledge has made it possible for them to excel as producers in the Alta Mogiana region.

This lot of Red Catuai coffee underwent Fermented Natural processing. Catuai was developed by the Instituto Agronomico (IAC) of Sao Paulo State in Campinas, Brazil by crossing Mundo Novo and Caturra varieties. Catuai coffees are cultivated widely across Brazil, and are known for their high productivity potential.

Region

Alta Mogiana

Located in the northeastern region of the São Paulo state along the border with Minas Gerais, the region has elevations between 900 and 1,000 meters above sea level and an average annual temperature of 21 degrees Celsius. The gently rolling land, rich soil, the fresh water of the Rio Grande, and higher elevations make it a region well suited to coffee production.

Much of Alta Mogiana’s crops are grown on small to midsized family-owned farms, which are supported by established local infrastructure and easy access to new technologies. Skilled labor and reliable roads further facilitate the transport of the region’s coffee production.
