The Andrades

My husband Joao Rodrigues de Andrade, came from a family of coffee producers, he was always very dedicated and had a true love for coffee growing, we had 4 children, who we raised and taught them true love for the land. In 2011, my husband passed away and I joined my children and together we continued this legacy of love for coffee growing. — Aparecida Monteiro de Andrade

It all started with the Monteiro-Andrade family’s patriarch, Mr. João Rodrigues de Andrade. He belonged to a humble family and developed a true passion for the land and coffee cultivation, thanks to his grandparents and parents. He got married to Mrs. Aparecida Monteiro de Andrade with whom he had four children: Valéria, Emerson, Anderson, and João Paulo. In 1999 he acquired the property and continued his job with fervour, working every day in the field. 

In 2011, when Mr. João Rodrigues de Andrade passed away. His wife, Aparecida,  together with her sons continued running the farm as part of the family tradition. She brought development in crop management and choice of varieties that best suit their property, taking into account soil characteristics, and altitude.

Ibirací, located in the coffee area of Mogiana, is a green paradise with boundless beauties, excellent climate, fertile soil, and favourable altitude for coffee cultivation. Fazenda Boa Vista is located in this area, locally also known as “Green Gold”. The farm has a beautiful coffee panorama and prides themselves in building a business on modesty and passion.

Producing this coffee was very special for me, as it symbolizes the love I feel for coffee growing, being able to work together with my family, and being able to bring this love to the homes of the people who will drink our coffee.
