Not
one contaminating residue is generated throughout the production process. Everything is
recycled. The water used in the washing process is drained and used to irrigate coffee
plantations. Leaves and beans removed in the drainage are mixed with compounds and
returned to the plantation. The dry pulp resulting from the milling process is also mixed
with the compound, thus providing a richer plant nutrition. Furthermore, two large areas
of natural preservation are located inside the fazendas. Among the native plants and
trees, species such as armadillos, foxes, anteaters, fresh water crabs and a wide
diversity of birds such as herons and tucans can be found. The bordering plants that keep
the water division in the cradle of the San Francisco and Paranaíba rivers are also
protected. This type of environmentally conscious cultivation expresses gratitude by
producing cherries that will yield very high quality coffees. |
