The farmer Mr. Laerce Franca Faleiros has been working with coffee for more than 55 years. He is married to Mrs Maria Lucia, Vilhena, daughter of Mr Vilhena. The both families, Vilhena and Faleiros are entrepreneurs and have a very long tradition of producing great coffees.
Today the farm is managed by Mr Laerce's son Elvis, he is the second generation and his whole life has been in the world of coffee. He wants to leave a legacy for his children through sustainable production, looking for quality coffees and sending better coffee direct from farm.
The natural processed coffees in all 7 farms of the Eldorado group have intensely sweet flavours. Honey process is also used which helps with the intensity of the sweetness and amazing caramel notes.
Eldorado is one of the pearls of Alta Mogiana and has already accomplished a number of awards. In 2017 their coffee was 16th in the Cup of Excellence Naturals Category, with 89 points on the SCA cupping method. In the last competition organised by AMSC (Alta Mogiana Specialty Coffee) in the city of Franca, Mr Laerce and Mrs Lucia won 1st Place of Quality on the Microlots category.
It’s important to order the right grind for the way you make your coffee:
Whole bean – for those with a grinder.
Coarse – for making in a cafetiere.
Medium – for pour over/ drip
Fine – for espresso and aeropress.
