FARM INFO
This story begins with Quezia ́s great-grandfather Elizeu
Cardoso who first started to produce coffee in their farm
and this knowledge has been passed on to the following
generations.
Her father Adevalcir Tavares still working hard on the
coffee farm with 45 years of experience on this field.
Quezia and Geovane were born and raised in this
extraordinary and passionate coffee environment. After
long years into coffee as growers they came to know about
the world of specialty coffee and were straight way
interested to learn more what this was all about.
Hard working and persistence have always been part of
their journey, and in 2015 they realised it was time to take
their farm to another level and sought qualification and
knowledge that lead them to produce great coffees with
aromas and unforgettable flavours.
Quezia then decided to go ahead with a Q-grader
certification to be able to have a better understanding of
specialty coffee standards as well as grade their own
produce, whilst her partner Geovane focused on the producing side of things learning and making all the
effort to be able to implement the best practices, targeting the overseas market.
