The coffees are grown at altitudes between 1000-1150 m.a.s.l. Produced by the Urban family, a traditional coffee farming family of both first and second generations, the father and his older children own a 1755-hectare farm, Rio Brilhante. Of this, 840 hectares are dedicated to coffee production, and 566 hectares are set aside for preservation. The family impacts the local economy by employing 87 local workers and 199 temporaryworkers. The farm is located in the Coromandel municipality of Minas Gerais, where various coffee varieties are produced, including Catuaí 99, Catuaí 144, and more exotic varieties such as Arara and Topázio. This coffee is picked using coffee machines and then hand-sorted to select the best cherries. Cherries that are part of our SARAVÁ lot are transferred to a concrete patio for 8 days to sun-dry, then moved to rotary dryers for 40 hours to finish the drying process. The lot is a blend of Arara and Catuaí 62 varieties. Rio Brilhante is not just a coffee farm; the Urban family views it as a business project focused on impacting the coffee community and their families, mitigating climate change.
