Chapado is the farm Sebastião Curimbaba owns in Fortaleza de Minas.
Sebastião puts special attention to every step while harvesting and
processing his coffees, always working to achieve great quality
specialty coffee. The farm is located in a privileged area given the
high altitudes where coffee is planted, the microclimate, soil and
choice of excellent cultivars among other factors.
About the farmer:
Sebastião Curimbaba is a born entrepreneur. From a very young age he
accompanied his father, Benedito Curimbaba, in the family business.
Together they created the Curimbaba Group and acquired Fazenda Chapadão
to invest in coffee farming.
With investment in infrastructure and the professional qualification
of the whole team, the farm started to focus on processes that would
improve the quality of their production, having incredible results over
the last years.
Carlos Emídio and José Osvaldo have been working on the farm as
managers, minding production and infrastructure matters, and assisting
Mr. Sebastião Curimbaba.
About the area:
The location of Chapadão Farm stands out greatly in relation to its
suitability for coffee growing, especially when it comes to coffee
quality. Since the beginning of the Especialíssimo program, the property
has produced with great consistency specialty coffees of excellent
quality.
The region's microclimate, soil, altitude, the choice of excellent
cultivars and, of course, careful handling - especially during the
post-harvest, make the recipe for the great quality we have seen in this
coffee.
