Fazenda Monjolo, Espresso - Brazil

Fazenda Monjolo is located in Três Pontas, framed by the Mountain of the Three Peaks, a major monument that gave the city its name. The region is rich in water resources and offers excellent conditions for coffee cultivation, with altitudes of around 1,000 m and a mild climate.

The current owner, Aristides Botrel, is the heir to a rich coffee-growing tradition. The Botrel family was among the first to plant coffee on this land at the end of the nineteenth century. An agricultural engineer, Aristides has developed a deep knowledge of the coffee plant, helping to push the boundaries of farming practices and performance, constantly modernizing the farm to stay at the forefront of the latest technologies. Even today, he supervises all field operations and visits all coffee plots almost daily.

Since 2010, increased attention has been paid to post-harvest, including the installation of new facilities to continuously and consistently improve quality.
