This coffee comes from: Monica Borges de Sousa, who graduated with a degree in psychology, and then decided to change direction and dedicate herself to becoming a professional coffee farmer upon inheriting 90 hectares from her father in 1988. That dream turned into what is now Fazenda Vila Boa.

The land's natural environment is perfect for producing specialty coffee. With elevations ranging from 965m to 1208m, Fazenda Vila Boa has an area of 378 hectares with many different varieties of coffee, including this yellow bourbon, as well as others including red bourbon, topaz, arara, and geisha.

Vila Boa has grown to produce many different processed coffees, with an average production of 10,000 bags per year. The farm is Rainforest Alliance certified (meaning it meets strict environmental and social standards) and Carbon Positive (meaning it removes more carbon from the atmosphere than it emits).
