Brazil Sitio Bateia

Born and raised in the Bateia Community, Elizelto comes from the Fávero Family, one of the first families to settle in the Bateia region, around 1912. His grandparents, Italian immigrants, set down roots on the slopes of the region`s stone mountains and there they made their home.

The Family`s history of growing coffee began with Elizelto’s father, Mr. Almir Fávero. Unitl then, the Family grew few coffee trees for theis own consumption. Mr. Almir, a man ahead of his time, saw potential in the property for cultivation and decides to invest in coffee growing.

The gamble paid off very well, and Mr. Almir could raise his Family with the money from coffee growing. Since then, Elizelto and his two brothers have followed in their father’s foorsteps and today manage the property together. The brother’s admiration for their father is such that They decided to honor him, and today, in addition to bearing the name Sítio Bateia, the property is also known as Sítio Almir Fávero.

The property is located in an excellent terroir for the production of special lots: altitudes between 900 and 1100 meters, excellent precipitation rates throughout the year, and
the care of selective harvesting and post-processing carried out by the producer has surprised every year in terms of quality.
