Sao Francisco Da Bela Vista • Brazil
We've been looking for a Brazilian coffee we can feature on the website, but most have not been able to meet our standards of quality and tracability, until now.
Fazenda Sao Francisco Da Bela Vista is a single-estate coffee from Brazil run by Tarcízio Aldo Zugliani. The name comes from the river Sao Francisco and the beautiful view from the farm. Tarcízio bought the farm in 1993 and has made a lot of improvements to how it is run, including replanting with new trees, soil improvements and new drying facilities.
It has all the flavours you'd expect and want from a Brazilian coffee, like nuts, chocolate and dried fruit, but with added clarity and acididy that makes it much more interesting to drink.
