Brazil Dutra
Fazenda Dutra is a family-run farm owned and operated by Ednilson and Walter Dutra—brothers and great friends. They have been coffee producers all their lives—their father started the farm with 1 hectare, buying a second and third hectare from the farm’s profits until he had grown his land to 500 total hectares. The different lots in Fazenda Dutra represent the original names of the individual farms that Don Dutra absorbed into his property.
The brothers have been growing their operations year by year, and have won a number of national competitions including Cup of Excellence.
They use Solar Energy to run depulpers and the mechanical dryers are next on the agenda for this clean energy conversion. The estate also boasts near 750 acres of native forest to protect water sources and create natural barriers to protect the coffee trees from wind and erosion.
The Dutra family also takes their role as employer very seriously with big investments in a school located at the estate and a health care program for employees and their families.
This lot is a variety selection of Oerias, a cultivar developed by the Universidade Federal de VIçosa and meant to have a great cup while also retaining some climate resilience and disease resistance without using pesticides.
