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

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.

This lot is a whole organic production, tracked and certified by IBD - Orgânico Brasil.

Luís Cláudio Cunha, his brother André Luís, and their sister Silvia inherited the family business from their attentive father, Luís da Cunha Sobrinho. To produce 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 and leaving a legacy for the next generation to continue. 370 hectares of the farm’s total 470 are planted with coffee.
