"Luis and his family have been growing coffee for about 30 years. In 2014, Luis’ brother, Arari Bernardes sold his coffee at a premium and exported the coffee successfully. Luis soon learned that he could do the same as his brother. With help from his family, Luis has invested time and energy separating their lots, organizing a harvest schedule and paying close attention to the drying methods they are using for the coffee. Luis, along with many small growers in the area, have learned that improving the quality of their coffee is a great financial solution." -Royal Coffee NY
