Coffee ProducerLuciana Alves Leandro Melo
A glimpse of its history and its coffee experience
I dedicate myself to the cultivation of coffee for the love of my family. Our work makes us want to grow and improve our processes every day. Dedicating ourselves to producing quality coffees is our daily fuel.
In 1995 my husband planted his first crop at the Farm, since then I also became a coffee producer.
The most critical moments for me are the ones that happen during the coffee processing, when you have more work and more people involved in the process.
The processing of the coffee, in spite of being the critical part, is also the most important part, in this stage is when we raise the quality of the coffee through the processes.
This same stage is also a very meticulous moment in the production stages of our coffees.

Luciana Alves' Farm
Espigão do Palmital Farm
Luciana’s love and passion for coffee growing was given to her by her husband Gil César de Melo. Gil César de Melo, they started their project by planting their first hectares of coffee together.
Coffee growing in the family comes from Gil Cesar Melo’s grandparents, when he spent weekends and vacations with them, Gil Cesar remembers that what he liked the most was to be in the middle of the coffee plantation and learn everything that his grandfather explained to him.
Gil Cesar shared with his wife his enthusiasm and respect for coffee cultivation and so together they started their first coffee plantations.
