Bela Vista

Four generations on the same Brazilian farm Fazenda Bela Vista has been in the Lima Reis family for over a hundred years. Isabela and Antônio run it today, with the fourth generation already coming up behind them. The farm sits at 1,000 metres in Nepomuceno, Sul de Minas, the region most people call the birthplace of Brazilian specialty coffee. What makes Bela Vista distinct is what's been kept and what's been added. Centenary trees still stand. An ecological reserve still runs through the land. And alongside that, Isabela and Antônio are investing in the technology and processing to keep getting more from the terroir, particularly as the climate makes coffee farming harder year on year. Classic Brazilian profile: deep chocolate, toffee sweetness, a clean nutty finish. Works beautifully as espresso, especially with milk. More about this coffee
