Brazópolis - MG

Serra das Estrelas site

The Serra das Estrelas Site, by Paulo Afonso Ferreira has a lot of knowledge and its own infrastructure for the cultivation and organic production of specialty coffees, from the creation of seedlings, planting to the processing of coffees, as well as the cultivation of fruits, cereals and roots. In the middle of a native forest reserve, the Serra das Estrelas Site has a complete system that includes a greenhouse, suspended terrace, processing and storage sheds for coffee beans.

Of family origin, the site has always been a magical place, surrounded by native vegetation and forest reserve, at an altitude of 1,500m, located at the top of the Mantiqueira mountain range, in the city of Brasópolis in the South of Minas Gerais. The organic specialty coffees produced on the site are intercropped with various fruits, vegetables, cereals, roots and native trees, which makes the taste and aroma of these coffees a unique experience.
