With remarkable coffees, local producers in 15 cities decided to invest in a Geographic Indication project. Developed and managed by professor Joao B. Pavesio, it aims to enrich the region. With altitudes from 600 meters to 1,500 meters, the mountains offer a “terroir belt” where coffee plants find perfect conditions to develop. The Pico da Bandeira (or Bandeira Peak) with its altitude of 2,892 meters and five other high mountains in the Caparaó National Park are the guardians of this coffee region. This coffee is decaffeinated using the sugarcane E.A method.
