Sitio Baixadao
Luiz Roberto dos Reis did not come from a family of coffee producers, in fact his father worked with cattle. It was only when his mother saw a flowering coffee field, and was so enthralled by the beauty and the scent of the white coffee blossoms that she convinced the family to pursue growing coffee.
Today Luiz is a qualified Agronomist, and has 106 hectares of land, 15 of which he grows coffee on. Which is substantially more than the 2 hectares his father started with.
He grows yellow and red Catuai, yellow Bourbon, yellow Icatu, Acaia and Topazio.
Region
