Brazil Jose Edivaldo

Roasted for Espresso

Background

The story of Sítio Barra coffee farm begins with Mr. José's father, who had
always worked in coffee plantations with his family. He had a dream of
owning his own farm, and with hard work, he gradually acquired his first
acres of land.

 Sadly, he passed away at a young age, leaving his seven
children to carry on his legacy. Mr. José and his brothers took over the
management of their father's land and continued to expand the farm over
time.

Each son has a distinct role on the farm. Thiago, the oldest, manages the
coffee processing, André takes care of the crops and harvest, and Felipe
oversees the processing and administration of the drying patios.

Although all three brothers work on the farm, Thiago holds a degree in Law and
Felipe in Civil Engineering, both of whom initially wanted to pursue careers
outside of coffee farming but ended up returning to the family business.

In 2011, the three brothers started a specialty coffee project, which was
initially meant to acquire a pulping machine. After cupping some of their
first batches, they were impressed by the excellent results and decided to
fully focus on specialty coffee, attracted by the paid differential and better
working conditions.
