José Barbosa Sobrinho started his coffee production in 1949 in one of the noblest place for coffee production within the Volcanic Region of Poços de Caldas.
Many years later, after Mr. José Barbosa passed away, his wife Augusta Barbosa de Paula led Fazenda do Selado together with one of the 4 sons, Maurício Barbosa.
Nowadays Maurício manages Fazenda do Selado with his right hand man Carlinhos, who was called to work on the farm in 2009 in order to help the family to improve the production of high quality coffees. The result is the production of around 1000 bags of specialty green coffees every year.
