OUR COFFEE

The Boa Esperança Farm is traditional in the production of Arabica coffees, with a large number of cultivars, each one with unique characteristics. The varieties are grown between 900 and 1100 meters, under different conditions of insolation, spacing and soil type.

THE PLACE

The farm is located in Serra Negra city, São Paulo estate, Brazil. The city started planting coffee on a large scale in mid-1873, receiving in 1880 the first families of Italian immigrants to work in the coffee plantations. In 1892 was inaugurated the Mogiana railroad Company, which had among its main role the flow of coffee produced in the city.

THE FARM

Founded in the mid-1930s, the Boa Esperança Farm started at this time their first plantations of coffee, and over the years the farm changed ownership a few times, but the coffee culture has always been the main activity of the property remaining in this until the present day.

SPECIALTY COFFEE

NUCOFFEE

NUCOFFEE is a program established by Syngenta which operates in all parts of the coffee chain, promoting integration between producers, cooperatives and roasters through commercialization of differentiated quality coffees. The program offers producers and cooperatives a range of services to support them in improving the quality and good farming practices, while helping to create closer relationships between demand and origin of coffee. NUCOFFEE is a new way of approaching the coffee chain, which is simpler, humane and transparent. Each initiative program is guided by three main pillars that promote the evolution of coffee culture: SUPPORT, COMMITMENT and TRACKING.
