Ciro Dias Pereira manages Capim Seco farm, a role he took over from his brother Rafael Dias Pereira, who decided to focus on his passion for horses. Ciro, along with his brother Luiz Paulo—one of the founders of Carmo Coffees—shares a deep passion for specialty coffees. He also manages Fazenda Irmãs Pereira, working tirelessly on the cultivation and care of coffee grains.

Under his management, The Capim Seco farm has continued the family tradition of producing high-quality coffee, receiving positive evaluations since its first harvest. The farm’s beans are processed at Fazenda Irmãs Pereira, where they benefit from advanced processing techniques, including drying on suspended terraces and in a well-designed patio. Innovative methods like Sweet Shower, Black Honey, and Double-pass are used to enhance the coffee's unique characteristics.

Ciro’s motivation is clear and deeply rooted in his family’s legacy. He says, “It’s in the blood. The coffee passes through our family from generation to generation. Seeing our coffees continue to be recognized for their high quality, that’s what motivates me.”
