As an Agronomic Engineer and raised in a farm, Aristides developed a deep understanding of the coffee plant, helping to push the limits in agricultural practices and performance, constantly modernizing the farm to keep up with the latest technologies available. Still nowadays he is responsible for overviewing all field operations and visits all coffee plots on a nearly daily basis.
From 2010, new emphasis has been given to post harvest, including new water milling facilities aiming to improve quality in a continuous and consistent manner. This has enabled Monjolo to broaden the array of coffees available and thus reach different international markets.
