Operated by Ednilson da Silva Gomes, Fazenda Grumarinho can be found in the Grumarinho community in the Caparaó region of Minas Gerais, Brazil. In 2002 Ednilson inherited the land from his father, who had cultivated coffee as well as food crops on the land for many years. Today, 3.8 hectares of the 7 hectare property are dedicated to coffee production.
Ednilson works the land today with the support of his wife and young daughter. Together, motivated by the passion for coffee growing and the hope for quality crops, they work to gradually earn greater recognition in the coffee market.
This lot of Red Catuai coffee underwent Natural processing. Catuai was made 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.
The Caparaó region of Brazil, located on the border between the states of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo, received a Denomination of Origin from the INPI in 2021. This certification recognizes the region as an area where coffee producers cultivate coffees with distinct characteristics thanks to the region’s combination of natural features and the skill of local coffee producers.
Caparaó is characterized by a mountainous relief and high slopes, balanced soil, and a climate favorable for coffee cultivation including 1,200–1,600mm of annual rainfall and average temperatures of 19–22°C.
Coffee producers in the region balance new technologies with institutional know-how passed through generations. Modern local standards include intentional selection of coffee varieties, separation of plots across farmlands, harvest and post-harvest procedures carried out per lot, and concrete terrace drying.
