After graduating with a degree in psychology, Monica Borges de Sousa decided to shift gears and dedicate herself to becoming a professional coffee farmer after inheriting 90 hectares from her father and in 1988, Fazenda Vila Boa began.

With an excellent natural environment for the production of specialty coffee and elevations ranging from 965m to 1208m, Fazenda Vila Boa has an area of 378 hectares with several different varieties including this yellow bourbon, as well as others including red bourbon, topaz, arara, and geisha.

Vila Boa has grown to now supply natural, washed, and fermented coffees with an average production of 10,000 bags/year.

The farm is both Rainforest Alliance certified as well as Carbon Positive.
