Of its nine hectares, only half are planted with coffee, the rest remains protected forest. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe family grows an impressive mix of varieties, including Castillo, Cenicafé 1, Maragogipe, Pacamara, Rume Sudan, Bourbon Pointu, and Pink Bourbon.

For nearly two years, the family struggled to unlock the potential of this variety.
