Marina Moscardini
Marina Silvestre Moscardini is a fourth-generation coffee producer, a descendant of italian immigrants to the Franca region. Marina is still based in the region, growing coffee near Ibiraci, right on the border between Alta Mogiana and southern Minas Gerais. Sítio Guanabara has been in the family for generations, and it was here Marina observed and learned from her father, Ademir Donizete Moscardini, alongside her siblings Gabriel and Caio.

Sítio Guanabara
Guanabara covers 70 hectares in total, and is now planted with 32 hectares of coffee, with the rest left as natural reserve. The farm sits at an elevation of 1200 metres, relatively high in Brazilian terms. This lot of Catucai was processed as a natural, drying slowly on the patios at Guanabara. This leads to a refined take on the typical Brazilian profile, with deep caramel, dark chocolate and sweet red apple notes.

Mogiana
Mogiana is a region of the State of São Paulo, one of the most populous and economically important states in Brazil. It is home to the port of Santos, where much of Brazil’s coffee is exported. The region was named for the railway company that built the rail network in the region. ‘Companhia Mogiana de Estradas de Ferro’ built the so-called ‘railway of coffee’ in the 1880’s, and to this day it carries much of Brazil’s coffee exports to Santos. The railway, as well as the excellent climatic conditions have led to a great deal of coffee being produced in Mogiana.
In a Brazilian context there is plentiful high altitude, and a constant temperature of around 20°C year round leads to consistently well balanced and high quality cups.
