The pair have always worked in coffee production, initially helping their relatives with work on their farms. Their dream, however, was to have a small piece of land of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003eIn 2011, the couple sold their house, which was everything they had at the time, to make that dream possible and purchased Sítio Baixão da Serra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003ch3\u003eDeveloping Their Coffee Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003eAbner and Vanessa initially focused on improving the quality of their coffees. Their first attempts helped them understand the potential of their land and identify how they could develop their production around quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003eThis progress took time, but by 2019 they had improved their harvesting and post-harvest practices sufficiently to produce an 88-point lot. In 2021, one of their coffees was recognised among the ten best speciality coffees produced by members of Cooxupé during that harvest. In the years since, the family have continued to refine their production and consistently produce excellent coffees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003ch3\u003eA Family Approach to Coffee Growing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003eAbner’s whole family is involved in coffee production. His brothers—Edir, who produces coffee at Sítio Portella, Edivair and Edenilson—are also experienced speciality coffee producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003eThe brothers work closely together during the harvest, helping one another to pick their coffees while sharing ideas about sustainable farming practices and improvements to production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003ch2\u003eHow Is This Coffee Processed?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003eEvery coffee produced at Sítio Baixão da Serra is prepared using the Natural process. The cherries are dried in full sun, turned regularly during the day, then piled together and covered overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003eThis careful approach creates a slower and more even drying process, helping to preserve and develop the sweetness found in their coffees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003eWith just over two hectares of land and an annual production of approximately 100 bags, Abner and Vanessa remain focused on achieving the best possible return from their harvest by investing in quality at every stage of production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003ch2\u003eOur Relationship with Sítio Baixão da Serra\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003eThis will be the fourth year that we have worked with Abner and Vanessa. When we began purchasing their coffee in 2023, we bought two sacks. Each year since, we have increased our purchasing. This year, we purchased exactly 2,950 kg—50 sacks—which represents approximately 50% of Abner and Vanessa's total harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003ch2\u003eLove This Coffee?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003eGet coffees like this delivered on repeat with our \u003ca title=\"Explore our Single Origin Coffee Subscription\" href=\"https:\/\/www.harmonycoffee.co.uk\/products\/single-origin-subscription\"\u003eSingle Origin Subscription\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003ch2\u003eExplore More of Our Coffee Collections\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Browse our Espresso Coffee Beans\" href=\"https:\/\/www.harmonycoffee.co.uk\/collections\/great-espresso-coffees\"\u003eEspresso Coffee Beans\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Browse our Filter Coffee Beans\" href=\"https:\/\/www.harmonycoffee.co.uk\/collections\/filter-coffee\"\u003eFilter Coffee Beans\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003c!-- Trust Block --\u003e\n        \u003cdiv style=\"margin: 24px 0; padding: 18px; border: 1px solid #eee; border-radius: 10px; background: #fafafa;\"\u003e\n          \u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\"\u003eWhy Choose Sítio Baixão da Serra?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n          \u003cul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 18px; line-height: 1.55;\"\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResponsibly Sourced\u003c\/strong\u003e – A transparent supply chain built through our long-term relationship with Abner, Vanessa and Coffee Cargo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupporting a Small Family Farm\u003c\/strong\u003e – In 2026, we purchased approximately 50% of Abner and Vanessa's total harvest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Traceability\u003c\/strong\u003e – Fully traceable to the producers, farm and individual coffee lot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision Roasted\u003c\/strong\u003e – Small-batch, convection roasted for clarity and sweetness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree UK Delivery Over £20\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n          \u003c\/ul\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n        \u003ch2\u003eWhat Do Our Customers Have to Say About It?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n        \u003c!-- Customer Testimonial Section --\u003e\n        \u003cdiv style=\"margin: 28px 0; padding: 20px; border: 1px solid #eee; border-radius: 12px; background: #fafafa;\" class=\"hc-testimonial\"\u003e\n          \u003cdiv style=\"color: #f5a623; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 2px; margin: -2px 0 10px 0;\" aria-label=\"5 out of 5 stars\"\u003e★★★★★\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n          \u003cfigure style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\n            \u003cblockquote style=\"margin: 0 0 10px 0; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e“Our customers love these coffee beans in particular.
