Coffee Story
Over the past eight years, Gilcimar and his brother-in-law, Jose Fortunado, have cultivated a remarkable partnership that exemplifies dedication and passion for coffee farming. Their story unfolds in the picturesque Castelo district of Brazil, where Gilcimar's expansive 12-hectare farm flourishes. Surrounded by the vibrant greenery of the Atlantic Forest and perched at an altitude between 1,020 and 1,200 meters above sea level, the farm benefits from the region's rich biodiversity and unique microclimate, creating an ideal environment for coffee cultivation.
Gilcimar has honed his craft to produce exceptional coffees, with a specific emphasis on the Catucai, Catuai, and Yellow Obata varieties. These selections have garnered local acclaim and recognition, showcasing their distinctive flavour profiles and exceptional quality. Each cup is a testament to the meticulous care put into the cultivation and processing of the beans, reflecting the harmonious interplay between nature and skilled farming practices.
Among their prized offerings is a specific lot featuring 100% Catucai 785 beans, which have undergone a meticulous fully washed process followed by careful drying. This method enhances the coffee's innate characteristics, resulting in a clean, vibrant taste that pays tribute to the rich terroir of the region.
