New Arrival from Brazil

JANUARY 7,2022

Fazenda Bela Época has been growing coffee for more than 80 years across three generations of producers passionate about coffee growing. The production process is harmonious, passing through selective harvest and post-harvest stages, with discerning selection of beans and carefully managed drying.

Luís Cláudio Cunha, along with his brother, André Luís, and their sister Silvia, inherited the family business from their attentive father, Luís da Cunha Sobrinho. With the goal of producing quality coffee, the family is undertaking new projects where the selection of varieties incorporates sensory evaluation of the final beverage. They prioritize post-harvest processing, which includes Washed, Natural, Pulped Natural and mechanical drying.

The passion for coffee agriculture has become their greatest motivation in growing the family’s coffee fields, that along with leaving a legacy for the next generation to continue. 370 hectares of the farm’s total 470 are planted with coffee.

Fazenda Bela Época is located in Ribeirão Corrente, São Paulo state, and the farm prioritizes environmental responsibility, producing coffee without contaminating the landscape and while preserving natural resources and ecosystems. The family’s commitment to social equity and sustainability puts people first and demonstrates the future they wish to create for Brazilian coffee.

Located in the northeastern region of the São Paulo state along the border with Minas Gerais, the region has elevations between 900 and 1,000 meters above sea level and an average annual temperature of 21 degrees Celsius. The gently rolling land, rich soil, the fresh water of the Rio Grande, and higher elevations make it a region well suited to coffee production.

Much of Alta Mogiana’s crops are grown on small family-owned farms, which are supported by established local infrastructure and easy access to new technologies. Skilled labor and reliable roads further facilitate the transport of the region’s coffee production.
