With ocean breezes, mild temperatures and more than 1,000 inches of rain per year, this area has a phenomenal micro-climate for specialty coffee. The elevation range between 800 to 1,350 meters and different areas of the farm receive varying amounts of sunlight, creating multiple micro-environments for the coffee. This results in different flavour influences.
The Rio Verde farm is owned by Ipanema Agricola and has a total area of 1,500 hectares, 600 of which are devoted to coffee.
