Lot CF135129-02-A: Fazenda Maracanã - Catuai - Pulped Natural - A

Fazenda Maracanã is a fantastic example of how tradition and innovation can work hand in hand. The fazenda has been in the Junqueira family since 1872 and is a very rare example of sustained female ownership of a farm over many generations. The great-great-grandmother of the current owner, Marina Diniz Jungueira, first purchased the farm in the 19th century and it has been owned by women dedicated to high quality coffee production ever since. When Marina and her siblings took over the management of Fazenda Maracanã, they set themselves the task of building on this impressive heritage. They wanted to maintain and improve the quality of the coffee, whilst also passionately striving to improve the social and environmental impact of the fazenda in the local community.
