Profile
Luiz Paulo Dias Pereira Filho is a founding partner in Carmo Coffees – the exporter in Brazil with whom we work. Luiz Paulo and his cousin, Jacques Pereira Carneiro, decided to start Carmo Coffees to help the family farms find international buyers and establish Carmo de Minas as one of the best coffee-growing areas of Brazil. In recognition of Luiz Paulo’s efforts over the years his grandfather bequeathed to him Sítio Senhor Niquinho where Luiz Paulo grows Yellow and Red Bourbon as well as Geisha and Catuaí. Luiz Paulo has been running some innovative experiments on his farm with some very interesting results. He has looked to the wine industry for guidance and started using anaerobic fermentation as a means of removing the fruit and pulp from the parchment-covered beans. Our shipment is processed using the more established pulped natural method, but we look forward to learning more about Luiz Paulo’s experiments and seeing what impact this might have on the other processing methods.
