The Pica-pau estate contains 3 hectares of coffee which are planted over 4.8 hectares. The rest of the land is left as virgin Atlantic rainforest, with a diverse range of flora and fauna. José also chooses not to use pesticides on his property and tries to reuse all waste generated by the harvest to treat and fertilize the land. This particular lot was hand-selected from trees at the highest areas of the farm and carefully dried on raised beds for 15 days.—from Osito Coffee
