Adolfo Henrique Vieira Ferreira, a fourth-generation farmer known throughout his region as a pioneer of specialty coffee in Brazil, operates the 130-hectare Fazenda Passeio in the south of Minas Gerais. The steep slopes of the farm mean that his coffees are exclusively handpicked, an uncommon method in a country where mechanical harvesting is the standard. Adolfo favors this additional level of quality control for his coffees, and along with his dedication to environmental stewardship and equitable support for his workers, speaks to his trailblazing commitment to elevating Brazil specialty coffee.
