Andrea and Renato started learning about coffee production together, when they decided to change their career, after retirement. Following their dream, they found Trapiá at the highest mountains of Mantiqueira region and decided to restore the property.
At that time, there were only 20.000 coffee plants and no coffee structure for the post-harvest. Nowadays the farm has 70 hectares (190.000 plants) under coffee and a state-of-the-art processing structure counting on three patios, a wet station where they separate the cherries, a pulping machine and two dryers.
Trapiá counts with 13 employees during low season and around 25 during the harvest.
In addition to provide livable wages, the farm promotes lectures on health and hygiene, nutrition, and environmental care for all employees and their families.
The coffee at the farm is hand picked and they also use the semi-mechanized method, with small handheld machines, where the area is mountainous. Where the relief allows it, they harvest mechanically.
Other agricultural activities at Trapiá include primarily forestry. Some 40.000 Candeia trees (a native species) have been planted on the farm. Over 30% of the land is under native vegetation, where the predominant biome is the Atlantic Forest.
There are several water springs and falls inside the farm, all of them preserved and surrounded by the local flora. The wildlife lives in harmony with the environment. Sustainable programs currently in action include the planting of more different species of trees and the establishing of an eco corridor in partnership with neighboring farms.
The producers participated on the 2021 Especialíssimo Award Ceremony. Their specialty coffee won the third place, a result of their commitment to quality and sustainability.
