Description

When Helcio first started to help his mum on her farm Santa Lucia, he was only 15 years old. There were no concerns about the quality of coffee at that time and it was only in ’90 when the market of Specialty Coffees started to evolve.

Not having any prior knowledge about this coffee segment, Helcio and other producers from the region founded Aprocam – Association of Coffee Producers from the Mantiqueira Region. Their goal was to, through working closely with scientists and coffee experts, produce quality beans in a large-scale. Year after year, Helcio kept getting better in the production of specialty coffees and nowadays his name, and his farm also, are already known in key markets.
