On the slopes of the Serra do Pau d’Alho, near the Cabo Verde river, lies one of the oldest coffee-growing areas in Brazil. Since the late 18th century, coffee has been cultivated on the gentle hills around Mount Mirante. A small group of producers, descendants of the first fazenderos, grow this one of the sweetest coffees from this country at an altitude of 1000 to 1200 meters. A very balanced coffee, with medium body and elegant sweetness.
Around 60% of the plants are from the traditional Mundo Novo variety and about 30% Catuai, while the remainder is Bourbon and other cultivars. The Pergamino is a selection originating from the first harvest, carried out in May, and from the main harvest which usually takes place between June and July.
