Brazil Fazenda Triunfo

In 2003 Marcelo Akihiro Morita was a young agronomist who showed a knack for improving quality, and incredible organizational skills. He was approached by 7 of his neighbors and asked to become the CEO of a partnership that would become known as ‘The G8 Group’.

At first, their main goal was focusing on garlic production, but in 2019 they moved into coffee by purchasing an award-winning coffee farm – Fazenda Triunfo. This farm was considered by many in the area to be a 'meeting of greats'.

"From the moment I arrived at the farm, I knew it would be a very big challenge, but after a while, it became a love at first sight.

Coffee is a very rich culture, in addition to the possibility of producing something that everyone loves, we can generate income and employment for many people.

Caring for the environment and our employees are fundamental pillars for us to produce quality coffee, which is why we are proud and satisfied with what we are producing.”, Marcelo said.

Although it’s been researched since the 1940s, the Catuai cultivar was only officially introduced to Brazil in 1972. It’s a genetic cross between two natural Arabica mutations of yellow Caturra and Mundo Novo, that can also come in red and variations.
