They are among the Fairtrade pioneers in Brazil and cultivate their farms in the region around São Gonçalo do Sapucaí. They repeatedly achieve success as individual producers in renowned competitions such as the Cup of Excellence. The coffee cherries for the APAS blend are selectively harvested by the members on their own farms, dried in the cherry, and then mechanically de-pulped. This dry processing emphasizes the nutty and chocolatey character of the coffee.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eTell me more about \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApas Decaf \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor years, APAS has been our bestseller because it delights many tastes.
