Sitio Congonhal

At Mulier we take pride in working with only female producers. We are very excited to introduce Luana Aparecida da Silva from Farm Sitio Congonhal coffee to our customers. We heavily admired Luana's story and take pride in selling her coffee

Her coffee journey began in childhood, when her parents grew coffee in small quantities. At the time, it wasn’t their main source of income, but as the years passed, they refined their skills. She never imagined coffee would become her passion—she had dreams of exploring the world and studied healthcare. However, as she discovered the unique aromas and flavors of the specialty coffee her parents produced, she fell in love with the land she had once left behind.Now, she manages her own farm in Lambari, part of the Mantiqueira de Minas region, focusing on resilient coffee varieties to face climate challenges. Coffee is now her family’s primary income, and she works to improve the harvest and post-harvest processes. Living in a mountainous, high-altitude region enhances the coffee’s quality, though harvesting remains challenging. Alongside her fiancé, she continues to learn and grow. Once indifferent to coffee, she now can't live without a quality cup—especially her own. Beginning this journey fills her with deep gratitude.
