From Ally Coffee:

Following his father’s footsteps, producer Ricardo Tavares has dedicated his life to the coffee industry. As an innovator, he promotes and supports new coffee practices. Ricardo’s father began in the roasted coffee industry, delivery products to meet the demands of Brazil’s domestic coffee consumption. It was always Ricardo’s dream to own and operate coffee farms, and Primavera is the ultimate fulfillment of that goal, being not just a coffee farm but a regional exemplar of the possibility of specialty coffee production in Brazil. Fazenda Primavera is located in the municipality of Angelândia, Minas Gerais. This coffee is vertically integrated from the soil and silos of Primavera through the transport, export, and arrival in US and EU warehouses. Fazenda Primavera is part of the same family of businesses as Ally, meaning we know this coffee inside and out and can make annual adjustments to production and processing based on roaster and retailer feedback.
