Being born blind was never a reason to fear the future or her own destiny Dulcineia or “Dulce†is a strong and inspirational woman. She is married to Jose Paulo Borges, who worked at his father’s coffee farm since he was young man.

Dulce says that working with coffee is very gratifying for her, not only because of the remuneration but also because of the people who value her hard work. “There are moments when her husband Jose Paulo finds himself a bit down, but then he thinks of me and all that I’ve been through, and how I am such an independent women, able to roast, grind and pack our own coffee. He gets re-motivated and that’s how they keep working with devotion and dedication to continue producing this sought after and outstanding coffee
