Bensa Daye

Fazenda IP was first purchased in 1967 by Isidro Pereira, father of Luiz Paolo Dias Pereira, and takes its name from Isidro’s initials. Luiz was pursuing an education in agriculture at the time the farm came into the family, but after 5 years he joined his father to expand production.

By 1974, Luiz began expanding Fazenda IP, which now covers 720 hectares representing 500 percent growth over the farm’s original size. The estate cultivates Yellow Catuai, Yellow Catucai, Acaia, and Yellow Bourbon, with coffee processed using both natural and honey methods. The higher altitude promotes slow cherry ripening and allows for selective picking, key factors in producing coffees of exceptional quality. Sharing the same high-density bean origin as our Karamara lot, Bensa Daye distinguishes itself through a meticulous Washed process.
