The producers are committed to enhancing the quality of their coffee, receiving support from the cooperative, through the guidance of an agronomist and online forums for shared learning and connection. They receive support in their pursuit of producing top-quality coffees through engaging activities like lectures, workshops, courses, and discussions on pertinent subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach year, contributions from two medium farms and two small farms are carefully combined; this construction allows us sufficient volume while maintaining a reliable, traceable relationship with this group of female producers, and a repeatable, stable flavour profile that we love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest \u0026amp; Post-Harvest\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cherries are harvested both manually and mechanically.

Despite its altitude, the flat terrain allows for precision mechanical harvesting, carried out in two stages for optimal ripeness. Equipped with pulping machinery, mechanical dryers, and traditional wooden “tulhas,” the Bachião family meticulously separates and dries naturals and pulped naturals to ensure uniformity and balance in every lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarliane Guelere and Luís Fernando de Moraes.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarliane and Luís’s Sítio Penha farm is located in Nova Resende, Sul de Minas, at 1,100 masl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProcess: Natural | Variety: Red \u0026amp; Yellow Catuaí | Harvest: June–August | Production: 400 bags\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Sítio Penha, Carliane oversees drying and quality control, while Luís manages agronomy.

Their dedication to quality has earned recognition: in 2024, Sítio Maranhão (Angola) won 3rd place in the Especialíssimo Award with an 89.3-point coffee.

Julia leads the estate with a focus on sustainability, innovation, and community. The farm features native forests, springs, and a new cupping lab, combining tradition with modern quality control. Over 30 resident families work alongside the Valle family, supported by solar energy, reforestation projects, and educational programs. Monte Alto’s commitment to excellence was recognised when its Yellow Bourbon earned 3rd place in Brazil’s Cup of Excellence (88.94 points).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eImpact\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Luzia Collective is about creating sustainable, inclusive growth for female farmers in a traditionally male-dominated sector. These are female producers who are hands-on with the product, managing key aspects of production and creating great coffee. The project not only ensures profitable conditions and fair payment, but also creates a space for these women to collaborate with each other and share their experiences and to access knowledge from professionals and industry leaders in a space that allows them to engage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the project continues to grow, in 2024, negotiations increased 20%, with over 70 producers receiving quality premiums totalling more than USD 30,000. These bonuses fund farm improvements such as better equipment, infrastructure, and training. Contributing producers also have exclusive access to more workshops on regenerative agriculture, biological control, and cupping, bridging the gap between farm-level practices and the specialty coffee market’s demands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elijah's Coffee Co.","offers":[{"title":"250 grams(before grinding) \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":47584947962041,"sku":null,"price":58.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grams(before grinding) \/ Cold Brew","offer_id":47584947994809,"sku":null,"price":58.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grams(before grinding) \/ Clever Dripper\/French Press","offer_id":47584948027577,"sku":null,"price":58.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grams(before grinding) \/ Drip Coffee Maker","offer_id":47584948060345,"sku":null,"price":58.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grams(before grinding) \/ Pour Over","offer_id":47584948093113,"sku":null,"price":58.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grams(before grinding) \/ Aeropress","offer_id":47584948125881,"sku":null,"price":58.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grams(before grinding) \/ Espresso","offer_id":47584948158649,"sku":null,"price":58.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grams(before grinding) \/ Turkish","offer_id":47584948191417,"sku":null,"price":58.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/1249\/0425\/files\/Elija_sCoffee-Mockups-20263.jpg?v=1781432944","url":"https:\/\/www.elijahscoffee.co.il\/ar\/products\/brazil-luzia-collective-pb-1","provider":"Elijah's Coffee Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
