To meetSimone A Dias Sampaio Silva

A few words about Simone A Dias Sampaio Silva

Simone inherited her property from her parents, who produced conventional coffees at the Sitio Jardim das Oliveiras farm. They gradually realised that the soil, climate and environmental conditions offered by their terroir and region were ideal for producing specialty coffee. And when she took over the farm, Simone decided to do everything she could to do so. Her production objective is to increase the value of her coffee while maintaining an abundant production. To achieve this, Simone picks her coffee manually with the help of a "derriçadeira", and collects the cherries at their optimum level of maturity. She then separates the microlots, which are subdivided into four. The coffee is 100% dried on concrete patios and sorted into CERTIFICA MINAS labels. Her coffees have already won numerous competitions, including the Illy 2014, Abic 2015 and Selo Estadual de Sustentabilidade 2015 competitions, and came 4th at BSCA 2016.
