Sitio Vital | Brazil

Born and raised in ​​Distrito dos Ferreiras in the city of São Gonçalo do Sapucaí, Minas Gerais, coffee producer Danilo Vital began learning about coffee production at a young age. His grandmother Nita taught him the entire process, from fertilizing the land to post-harvest processing. Today, Danilo and his parents grow coffee on 1.5 hectares of their three hectare family farm, Sítio Vital, where they work together fulfilling their dream of cultivating high quality coffee.

This lot of Red Catuai coffee underwent Natural processing. Catuai was developed by the Instituto Agronomico (IAC) of Sao Paulo State in Campinas, Brazil by crossing Mundo Novo and Caturra varieties. Catuai coffees are cultivated widely across Brazil, and are known for their high productivity potential.
