A few words about Ipanema Coffees

Established in 1969 by visionary engineer Luiz Cyrillo Fernandes, Ipanema Coffees has been producing coffee at its Rio Verde farm since 1887. Mr Fernandes has travelled extensively in various coffee-producing countries to improve his production practices and as a result has introduced a particularly innovative coffee tree pruning technique. Ipanema Coffees began exporting following the liberalisation of the market in 1991. Today, Ipanema Coffees stands out for its more environmentally-friendly approach to coffee production and its commitment to its workers. There are over 700 permanent employees, and 2,000 in all at the peak of the harvest period.
