The Castro Alves family history began in the 19th century in the Araxá region, in Minas Gerais. In its seventh generation it mixes faith and mystery. Fazenda Barinas is one of the pioneers in the coffee production of the region, begun in 1950, today under the command of Tiago C. Alves. The name Barinas means "where the wind blows the strongest," and was given in honor of the Araxas Indians, who lived in that region. Nowadays the family is considered a model in the coffees specialty production, a reference in sustainability, and highly known for their diversification and professionalism that culminated in the excellence of the coffees they produce.
