About
Luiz Paulo Dias Pereira Senior must have one of the industry’s most interesting collection of notebooks. He has been farming coffee, amongst other crops, since the 1970s when he joined his father, Isidro Pereira (IP), on the family farm. The notebooks contain observations and notes stretching back more than thirty years when Luiz Paulo Snr began keeping rain records. In the early 2020s he added daily temperature readings as well. The rain records tell an interesting story of what used to be a predictable and repeatable two season (dry and wet), and the move towards the current micro-climate experienced on the farm of excess rain and increasing temperatures. The notebooks also contain details of every single lot of coffee produced on the farm, from growing information to final cup quality. Collated together they tell a decades old story of growing coffee on Fazenda IP.
