Farm Info
Santuario do Sul farm is a project that was born in 2017 from a goal of
being ahead of market trends. It wasn’t easy to begin planning when
the plans were to bring coffee from different regions of the world in
order to generate a new profile of Brazilian coffee.
The coffees grown at the farm are the result of a lot of obstinacy of
Luiz Paulo and his partners. Today, in addition to the traditional Brazilian
varieties (like Yellow Bourbon), the farm produces more than thirty
exotic varieties of coffee, using s number of different cultivation practices
(such as shaded areas), and other more innovative processes.
The Santuario do Sul farm is next to one of the most traditional farms
located in the municipality of Carmo de Minas, named Irmas Pereira.
This is where Santuario do Sul’s green coffees are processed.
The varietals planted there are monitored closely, so they can offer the
best results within the climatic conditions of the region. In addition, Luiz
Paulo himself makes sure to always taste the first samples of each of these coffees, to guarantee
the quality of their products.
For the next few years, Luiz Paulo has no doubts:
“The goal is to always be at the forefront of the market and offer more and more quality!
So far, the farm has acquired some special positions on the market, being recognized by the
quality and their pioneering approach. The first two harvests started with the new varietals and processes,
which are important to making new flavors recognized by the customers and the judges.”
