Joao Hamilton's 10 hectare farm land is located in the Caconde region, on the border of Sao Paolo and Minas Gerais states. The land is divided into two farms – Sitio Canaa and Sitio Novo Canaa lying in altitudes between 1200 – 1350 masl. Joao and his family produce a number of varieties including Catuai, Mundo Novo, Bourdon, Sumatra & Obata. All coffee is now harvested when fully ripe, hand-picked and sorted prior to processing with a variety of methods. This particular lot consists of the unusual hybrid varietal – Obata, grown at Sitio Canaa, hand-sorted and dried on raised beds. 

In 2006 Joao and his brother Ivan started working in collaboration with FAF with the goal to improve the quality of coffee they produce whilst changing their agricultural practices and improving the environment around them. And they have come a long way since.
