History of Amapola Tara Coffee:

Amapola is grown on these steep slopes near Frailes and Bustamante and also in plantations south of Enslaved and Caetago. The proximity of the Atlantic Ocean translates into a permanent spring which is the essential factor in the production of high quality coffee . Everyone knows that this region is proud to be at the forefront of quality research and that it produces one of the best coffees in the world.

The natural beauty of this little paradise has encouraged strict compliance with environmental constraints. The producers and those in charge of the beneficios are very involved in the preservation of the quality of the rivers of crystal clear water and the enchanting setting of its valleys.
