Familia Garcia’s farm Jaguara is located in the Campo das Vertentes region in south east Brazil. This farm was established in 2001 and devotes 72 hectares of land for coffee growing where they grow Yellow Catuai, Acaia, and Mundo Novo trees.
The decision to work with Natalia & André Luiz Garcia was an easy one. They have been working alongside our close import partners Nordic Approach for the last five years so there is already an established relationship and trust in place.
The family is focused on improving the living conditions of all workers and their families and are concerned about sustainability, using technologies that cause low impacts on the environment. They have adapted practices to include changes such as the use of organic matter to revitalise the coffee plantation, reducing the use of agrochemicals. Over time, the green areas were expanded, with insulation and planting trees along the springs on the farm.
Seasonal buying is about seeing coffee as a crop not a commodity, buying in harmony with the growing seasons to enjoy coffee at its best. This kind of buying has always been the backbone of our business and it’s something we’ve improved and refined every year.
