Farm Info
The farm has an ideal terroir with mountainous terrain, high altitudes and a good rainfall index which favors the
cultivation of specialty green coffee beans with brilliant aromas and flavors. They are a leading reference point
and drive the inspiration for new coffee standards and are a perfect partner for customers who demand high quality and ethical practices
Producer
The story of the producer Gil Cesar de Melo in the coffee industry began with his grandfather, Sr Miguel Constante,
who was a coffee grower in Campos Altos township. His grandfather passed this inheritance to Gil Cesar’s mother,
Elizena, who later transmitted that same passion to her son, who did not think twice before deciding to take part in this
enjoyable field.
In 1995, Gil planted his first six coffee hectares and, since then, he has expanded the areas, always seeking to invest
in quality. Espigao do Palmital farm is located in the municipality of Pratinha, in the state of Minas Gerais. His
properties have a privileged location in the Cerrado Mineiro region, which allows them to enjoy a perfect balance of the
climate seasons with a hot and humid summer and a mild and dry winter, something that greatly favors the quality of
the coffee.
