With 150 years of producing history, Carmo Estate’s owner Tulio Junquiera has a wealth of experience in what it takes to make great coffee. He’s the fifth generation of the family, and whilst he upholds many traditions, he is also looking forward and innovating sustainable ways to produce specialty coffee.
Carmo Estate is committed to the wellbeing of its employees and partners. Healthcare, on-site schooling for children, programmes to encourage workers to build their own housing, adult education projects, and the importance of environmental preservation are all hallmarks of the farm. Carmo Estate also runs an innovative profit-sharing programme, in which employees are invited to become partners in Carmo Estate and thus become entitled to a share of the profits earned from the sale of its coffee.
