Sitio Roseira farm is located in the community of Lambari, the south of Minas Gerais, in the Serra da Mantiqueira region. With an average altitude between 1000-1200 meters, the mountainous terrain, as well as predominance of sun, Sitio Roseira farm is able to produce high quality coffee beans. Leda Aparecida and José Edvaldo da Silva received a plot of land from the farmer they used to work for the past 20 years. Sustainable cultivation of the specialty coffee and farming is their top priority.

In Sitio Roseira farm, the cherries are hand-picked when they are ripe. The cherries are then placed into sacks and transported to the concrete patio, where they are dried naturally under the sun. The cherries are stirred for several times a day until they reach the ideal moisture content of 11%. Then, they are placed in wooden bins to rest for at least 30 days. This process enriches the flavour and body of the coffee.
