Farm info

Fazenda Morro Alto has a rich tradition of over eight decades of coffee production, and is currently managed by third generation coffee farmer Denise Gonçalves Westin. The 110 hectare property is planted with 30 hectares of Red and Yellow Catuai, Mundo Novo, and Yellow Bourbon, all benefiting from the unique characteristics of soil, topography, altitude, and climate that surround the farm.

For Denise and the team at Fazenda Morro Alto, the emphasis is not only on the business of coffee, but also to a commitment to sharing a tradition of quality that transcends generations. For the family, each cup represents a celebration of eight decades of passion and dedication to the art of producing specialty coffee.

This lot of Mundo Novo coffee underwent Natural processing. Mundo Novo is the product of a natural cross between Sumatra and Red Bourbon, discovered in the municipality of Mineiros do Tietê, São Paulo in 1943. Seeds from one of these trees were planted in the municipality of Mundo Novo, now called Urupês, in Sao Paulo state. Various lines of the plant were cultivated here, undergoing selection for positive characteristics. The results of this cultivation were finally distributed to farmers beginning in 1952, with new selections by the IAC (Agronomic Institute of Campinas) beginning in 1977.
