Coffee details
| Description: | Cherries were harvested at the maturation peak and it was immediately moved to the patio over a white cloth in order to avoid absorbing too much heat. The cherries dried very slowly over 20 days, leaving the beans more time in contact with the mucilage. Very thins layers were used to prevent undisered fermentation and raking only started at the "raisin" stage to avoid depulping or damaging the cherries. The process was finished in a vertical drier, using mild temperatures trying to replicate the sunlight conditions. |

Producer Story:
A pioneer in coffee-growing in the Borges Community, in Camacho/MG, Mr. Divino Borges began his journey in coffee in 1978 with his wife Mrs. Lourdes.

Mr. Divino was an inspiration for his children, Severo learned with him everything about coffee. After his father's death, each brother inherited a piece of land, and Severo continued with Sítio Borges de Cima. The union with brothers was fundamental for the success of the activity.
