Revelino Lopes comes from a family of coffee farmers from whom he inherited his lands and continued the work of cultivating coffee. His family farm is located in the Boa Vista community of Alto Caparaó. His grandparents named the farm Vargem Alegre beacause of its beautiful views and the joy between everyone in the community.
In accordance with his objective of producing quality coffee, Revelino prioritizes and invests in his work as a coffee producer to provide an excellent coffee for the consumer and to earn the long-awaited recognition for his hard work.
2 of Vargem Alegre’s 3.5 hectares and planted with coffee and the modest property is managed with the family’s dedicated labor and support. Revelino’s children are passionate for coffee agriculture and intend to follow in their father’s footsteps.
With a distinct topography featuring rugged mountain terrains and large variations in elevation (between 400 and 1,100 meters above sea level) Matas de Minas makes a perfect region for growing specialty coffees. Because of its specific features, special care is taken in growing all the crops of the region. Coffee is harvested manually to select for only the most mature beans, the plants are planted with a wider spacing and so receive a higher instances of sunlight, only treated water is used for washing and pulping the beans, and drying is done meticulously and carefully. Together, all these factors favor the production of the highest quality coffees, full-bodied and with great nuances in both aroma and flavors.
