Fernando is warmly known as the ‘Rockstar Farmer’ because he plays guitar in a local rock band and used to have long hair, making him look like Axel Rose. He and his wife Glenda own a small farm with a total of 8 hectares which Fernando inherited from his father. The Catucai variety in this coffee is a crossover of Catuai and Icatu made in Brasil. It has much more resistance to leaf rust and other pests such as leaf miner compared to Catuai. In the cup Catucai has a higher and more floral acidity than Catuai. It is quickly replacing Catuai as the most planted varietal in the region.
