MORE ABOUT THIS COFFEE
This coffee from Sitio Nossa Senhora de Fatima is the perfect example of what can happen when a young producer, using modern fermentation techniques combine with decades of family tradition.
Thiago Henrique's family stand as pioneers of specialty coffee production within the Cabo Verde region, a legacy that traces its roots back to his grandfather's pioneering efforts in planting the initial coffee plots in 1965. This expertise has been transmitted through generations, with Thiago and his father, Adriano, becoming the present custodians of this rich knowledge.
Immersed in the nurturing influence of both grandfather and father, Thiago found himself captivated by their unwavering commitment and their legacy became the inspiration, compelling him to choose the path of Agronomy in higher education. His pursuit was not merely academic; he had a specific and deliberate aim to blend theoretical understanding with hands-on expertise, with the ultimate goal of elevating the the fermentation techniques involved in producing specialty coffees.
The harvested coffee is transported to the post-harvest station at his Father’s farm. This central processing unit boasts a comprehensive infrastructure, including washers, anaerobic fermentation tanks, suspended beds, pulping machines, patios, rotary dryers, and dedicated space for dry milling.
Thiago's devotion extends beyond the realm of agricultural practices; it seeks to forge a sustainable and symbiotic relationship between coffee cultivation and the environment, echoing the rich heritage of his family while charting a course towards a more responsible and accessible future for coffee producers.
