Thássio Aguiar e Souza is the third generation of coffee farmers in his family. The tradition of coffee growing started with his grandparents, who then motivated his parents, and, with much effort and labor, bought their own land together with fellow coffee producers. Later, Thássio was born and then raised in this environment of struggle and determination, where he learned to manage a coffee farm and carry out the necessary tasks to run it. Fazenda Taquaruna is located in the Boa Vista community of Alto Caparaó and 8 of its 9 hectares are planted with coffee.
With his mother’s help, Thássio has dedicated himself to producing quality coffees, a natural focus given the favorable elevations of the region and his attention to each phase of production. Thássio’s love for his work inspires him to continue dedicating himself to coffee agriculture, fulfilling his dreams of his father Theócrito, who has passed away but was devoted to coffee his entire life.
