FAZENDA SANTA TEREZINHA
WEBER MARCOS DIAS

Coffee has always been at the heart of Weber and his family’s life. The passion for coffee growing runs through generations – a legacy started by his father, Sebastião, who in the early 1990s acquired a small farm where the family worked together to ensure healthy trees and productive crops.
In 1999, after marrying Edivana, Weber fulfilled his dream of
owning his own land: Sítio Santa Terezinha. From the
beginning, the couple shared responsibilities: Weber takes care of
the field management, soil nutrition, pruning, and harvesting,
while Edivana leads the post-harvest, ensuring uniform drying and
perfect humidity levels.
Located in the Região Vulcânica, southern Minas
Gerais, the farm benefits from fertile soils and mild temperatures
that enhance cup quality. With these natural advantages and growing
technical expertise, Weber joined Cooxupé in 2017 and began
refining his processes with the guidance of SMC’s
specialists. Careful fermentation control, selective picking, and
gradual drying became part of his routine, resulting in
increasingly refined lots.
The improvement was recognized in 2022, when Santa
Terezinha’s coffee was identified through
Especialíssimo, SMC and Cooxupé’s specialty
coffee program. The selected lot displayed floral notes with hints
of apricot and sugarcane, praised for its delicacy and aromatic
complexity.
In 2023, Weber’s dedication brought new achievements: 1st
place in the Natural Process category of a regional competition in
Poços de Caldas, and 4th place at the Especialíssimo
Award Ceremony with a Natural Arara scoring 88.41 points –
proof that his pursuit of excellence is rooted in every stage of
production.
