Sebastiao Eloi Miranda lives at Sitio Gamelao with wife Tereza. Having grown up around coffee he is extremely experienced and familiar with the business. He started working as a picker for other farms and at the age of 25, he bought his first piece of land and planted 1 hectare of coffee trees. Up until recently, Sebastiao used to mix all of his micro lots because buyers cared more about quantity as opposed to quality. Now, he produces 500 bags of Specialty Coffee annually, mainly Yellow Catuai. He sun dries most of the beans on a cemented patio and few bags worth on raised beds.
