Sitio Caliari is owned by Vanderson Caliari Alves and his wife Brigida, third-generation coffee growers. Mr. Alves inherited the first 10 hectares of land from his father and has slowly grown the farm by buying land from neighbors. Sitio Caliari, named after his Mom’s maiden name, is now over 90 hectares of land. In addition to producing their own coffee, Sitio Caliari has become a resource in the community. They provide services like drying, processing and temporary storage of lots to their neighbors. Mr. Alves also experiments with different processing methods. About 20% of the farm’s production, including this lot, is processed using Anaerobic fermentation. In this fermentation process, the batch is fermented for 8 days in drums, 4 days in the yard and then finished in the dryers. Royal New York has partnered with Legender Coffee to import this specialty green micro lot coffee from Brazil.
