About Fazenda Pinheiro

Fazenda Pinheiro is run by Maria Silva and Marco A. Guardabaxo, who took over the farm in 2003 and have significantly expanded coffee production since then. The farm also serves as the central hub for Ocafi's activities in the region, including an office and a roastery.

The Name Tarsila

The name "Tarsila" refers to Tarsila do Amaral, an influential Brazilian artist from the modernist movement of the 1920s. Her work combined European modern art styles with Brazilian themes, colors, and folk culture.

By naming this coffee Tarsila, Ocafi aims to:

• Build a bridge between culture and coffee—just as Tarsila created art that is distinctly Brazilian, this coffee represents a typically Brazilian flavor and production method
• Honor a female figure who left her mark on national identity, fittingly reflecting the fact that a woman (Maria Silva) also co-manages the farm
• Contribute to the cultural positioning of Brazilian coffee as something with depth, history, and artistic value, not merely a commodity

In short: the name Tarsila reflects the desire to view this coffee not only as a beverage, but also as a cultural product.
