Serra da Mantiqueira - MG
Carmo Coffees Farm
Nature has a habit of whimsy, especially in the coffee trees that sprout in the Serra da Mantiqueira, "it seems that it was the coffee itself that chose the best soil to live in". The rainy climate of summer, contrasting with the dry season is ideal for the ripening of the fruits, makes the grains ready to be harvested at the right time.
The sun and soil light up and the mountains are covered in the color of trees and crops, making the scenery look like a painting in green, yellow, orange and red. There is no way to pass through Carmo de Minas and its farms without being admired, embraced by more than hundreds of coffee growers who nurture the same respect and admiration for coffee.
The love for the region is not only in the coffee plants, Carmo Coffees maintains the social project "Cria Carmo", for the benefit of 200 children in the region, expanding opportunities within the school environment and bringing sport and health to the community. The synergy of the professionals with their surroundings and the friendship cultivated with all those involved in the coffee cultivation process, from production to the final product, make the best coffee in Brazil here, and with it, the best sensations.
