The story
Fazenda Santuário Sul was established in 2015 by Luiz Paulo Dias Pereira and Camilo Merizalde as an experimental project. The farm is part of the Pereira family's long-standing coffee tradition in Carmo de Minas, with Luiz Paulo representing the fourth generation of coffee producers in the region.
Challenges
The farm focuses on cultivating rare genetic varieties that often present the challenge of low productivity compared to traditional commercial crops.
Innovations
The farm utilizes progressive cultivation techniques such as shade planting and experimental processing methods, including induced fermentation, to challenge global perceptions of Brazilian coffee. They have also introduced over 30 exotic coffee varieties not typically found in the region.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
