1.2 HistorySecular Tradition - a story that began in the late 19th century

The history of O’Coffee begins with the arrival of the architect Giuseppe Quercia to Brazil with his son Vincent in 1890. The Italian, in addition to building churches in the interior of Sao Paulo, was responsible for the family´s approach to the coffee business.

The activity of coffee was taken up years later by his grandson Octavio, who devoted himself to the cultivation of coffee in the city of Pedregulho, and maintained by the great grandson Orestes who, with

his keen vision for business, became a reference in the Brazilian business circuit and main responsible for making their homeland part of the international coffee culture.

After the death of Orestes Quercia, in December 2010, his wife, Alaide, and children, Cristiane, Andreia, Rodrigo and Pedro, took over the business, keeping the family tradition in the coffee sector as well as the project initiated by Giuseppe.1

In front of the main guesthouse, for example, there is the former Mogiana Railways Company, Chapadão Station, today off, but full of history. Former President Venceslau Brás has visited the farm during his ruling. Previously, the property belonged to the family of Francisco Ferreira Ramos, influential person who signs the “Seal of the Centenary of the Independence of Brazil”. Designed by the renowned architect Ramos de Azevedo, the farm had in its main axis an aqueduct measuring more than 3 kilometers, starting in the city of Pedregulho. Italian and Japanese immigrants worked on the farm, a giant, modern coffee-producing farm at that time. Currently, the restaurant, whose decoration combines, in a balanced way, the rustic and the modern, is one of the guests meeting points: all meals are served there, and the menu, based on the typical gastronomy of the farms, is extremely healthy and pleases many different tastes.

1.6 International Internship Program

O’Coffee believes in the potential of youth and wants to enable them to become skilled professionals and to contribute to a better world.

Therefore, the Internship Project gives the opportunity to young people who attend secondary school, technical or college levels, to have a work experience on a real company, putting into practice their techniques and preparing them for the market and, perhaps, even offering the possibility to have their first employment at O’Coffee.

Earlier in the year, the Human Resources Department defines, together with the managers, the need for trainees, which areas they will work and the number of vacancies, then communicating the educational institutions about the opportunities to their students.

Pre-selected candidates participate in the final selection process that includes group tests, collective and individual interviews with HR and managers.

The internship is monitored by HR and the manager of the area. At the end of the internship, the trainee is honored on a fraternization where all administrative staff participate. In addition, he/she receives a special package of coffee with customized label and individual messages written by all the staff involved on the program.

What the company is seeking is a commitment to ethics and quality of life of the community that surrounds it and society in general.

Based on these assumptions, Social and Environmental Development, O’Coffee’s social

and environmental branch, maintains and Environmental Education Center at Nossa Senhora Aparecida farm, where it manages awareness and environmental management programs for children in the region of Alta Mogiana and programs aimed at adult education and maintenance of children in school.

ENVIRONmENTAL CONCERN

From planting to harvesting, O’Coffee chooses using mainly natural techniques of cultivation. Coffee helps erosion control because it’s a perennial plant, better said, after planting it, there is no soil displacement, thus preserving its physical structure, it also helps with good agricultural practices in weed management, pest management and disease having as a result healthy trees with maximum productivity.

A drip irrigation system aims to produce more using fewer areas, little water and no waste.The ecological management of pests and diseases, the permanent preservation along water courses, the transformation of waste into compost and its use in ecological fertilization of the crops has, as a result, coffee fields producing coffees with life. This is, for us, the best way to express the sustainability and the coffee

culture. An Environmental Management Plan structured by the Environmental Engineer Lina Inglez de Souza, includes areas of forest reserve and permanent preservation areas within the properties. There are approximately six million square meters devoted to preservation and conservation of native species, a commitment of O’Coffee with the future.

An important producing region in the early 20th century, the region of Alta Mogiana lived through several coffee barons. The rapid development of coffee culture has brought wealth and progress, and encouraged the arrival of so-called “the coffee railroad”.

This region is today a traditional producer of the best coffee in São Paulo because of its altitude, climate and extensive experience in the production of fine and specialty coffees. Known worldwide for offering products of exceptional quality, produces Arabica coffee, with exceptional

body and balanced acidity, with excellent natural sweetness and a caramelized fragrance.

The region is located on a plateau with an altitude between 800 meters and 1200 meters, has an average annual temperature of 19.5 º C, rainfall around 1,700 mm / year, distributed mainly in the summer, alternating with dry periods in winter.

Currently, Alta Mogiana has an average production of over 1 million bags of coffee. The dedication of the coffee grower and the practices implemented in the coffee plantations in the region allow the coffee to be exported to various countries.2

4.6 Preparation methods of Beans

Estate Coffees

20 different coffees are produced on O’Coffee farms. In addition to products whose names come from the variety itself already famous for its quality in the cup, others are naming from Brazilian precious stones, as a tribute to the country.

The O’Coffee farms have infrastructure for the preparation of natural coffees, pulped natural, demucilaged, fully washed, blends, nano and micro-lotss and even coffees with flavor profiles customized to meet customer needs.

The Passionate Pursuit for Coffee Excellence

The company seeks to offer the best possible quality in the finished product, producing different coffees, with a consistent delivery of the product.

Different varieties, six farms, several microclimates, different altitudes and topographies enables the production not only of a single type of coffee, but several with unique features in terms of flavor, sweetness, acidity, flavor and body balance. So O’Coffee created 20 different products (coffees, ready to be roasted).

100% traceability

A society increasingly globalized demands traceability of products, ensuring food safety and compliance with international standards. Such detailed information allows total control of the business management, resulting in a higher quality final product.

O’Coffee takes this very seriously and it maintains full traceability of their coffees. Their lots are 100% traceable: in the farms is possible to know when and where the seedlings were planted, the age of the coffee trees, where each bean of coffee came, how it was produced in each plot, and how many people worked there, what products were used and what coffees created a certain blend.4
