IP, short for Isidro Pereira, is the father of Luiz Paulo, who bought Fazenda IP in 1967. This farm has a rich history, spanning generations and evolving towards specialty coffee quality in the 1990s.
Today, all the coffee grown at Fazenda IP meets very high standards of quality, which has led the family to reach the finals of the Brazilian Cup of Excellence several times in recent years. In fact, a lot from the farm recently achieved an impressive 86 points!
For the Mokaflor Farm project, we used a hybrid of Typica and Bourbon, which is genetically very similar to Mundo Novo, another variety widely grown in Brazil.
As another example of the farm’s commitment to sustainability, over 80 hectares of the farm’s 700 hectares are dedicated to rainforest and natural reserves, where 12 springs originate.
