Leopoldo Oliveira runs Sitio São Miguel, a farm that has been owned by his grandmother, Sonia Maria Lopes, for 21 years. Leopoldo was raised by his grandmother and has been helping out at the farm for as long as he can remember. When he became an adult, he began managing the production and purchasing additional hectares of land from neighboring farms. Their farm, Sitio São Miguel, gets its name from a Catholic tradition in the region of Grotao where most sitios are named after Saints. Sitio São Miguel sits on a hilly terrain at an altitude of 1250 meters. Due to this terrain, the coffee cherries are sent via tube down the hill to a truck that takes them to dry on a paved patio for 15 days. Royal New York has partnered with Legender Coffee to import this specialty green micro lot coffee from Brazil.
