Origin - Bourbon
Mr. Jadir Coelho
Sericita-MG
Mr. Jadir Coelho Lima was born and raised in Sericita’s countryside. He loves a little chat, the harmonica and a healthy horse. He always worked on coffee production. In 1984 he inherited a piece of land and started coffee plantation. But it was in 2010 that he decided to restore an ancient variety of coffee – one that was cultivated in his parents’ old farm, the Yellow Bourbon? He acquired the seeds, made the seedlings and planted them at an altitude of 1300 meters, along with his wife – the skilled Mrs. Margarethe – and kids.
He gives special care to the crops, and no agrotoxic is used. Thus he was awarded, achieving the second place on Emater Minas Gerais’ coffee contest.
We can easily acknowledge: this is the pinnacle of coffees.

Matas de Minas Region
The Matas de Minas Region is a specialty coffee origin producer composed by 63 municipalities located in an area of Brazilian Atlantic Forest in the east of Minas Gerais State – Brazil.
Our production is naturally sustainable, predominantly made up of family farming and impacted by direct and indirect economic and social factors, and the natural integration between man and forest, cultural factors present in the coffee production of our region.
We are pioneers in what we call artisanal quality – the handcrafted work and techniques developed by our growers in the region – producing high quality coffees. The result of this effort is a diversity of nuances and flavours that are present in our coffees – highly prized in the most important national and international coffee competitions.
