Bela Vista Estate has been in Antônio Lima Reis’ family since 1923. As the third generation to manage the land, Antônio stays true to his family values of high-quality production and strong relationships between people and planet. Over 430 hectares are devoted to coffee, with a range of varieties grown including Yellow Catuai, Topázio, Mundo Novo, and Yellow Bourbon, as well as multiple processing methods. Coffee estates like Bela Vista take full advantage of Sul de Minas. The region’s mild climate allows Bela Vista to explore natural, washed, pulped natural and more esoteric fermentation processing methods and maximize the potential of every crop.
Located in the south of Minas Gerais, the Sul de Minas region of Brazil is where thousands of smallholders grow coffee among steep slopes and sweeping valleys. With its rich soil and mild climate, the mountainous topography produces an ideal terroir for high-quality coffee. Mechanization is limited due to the terrain, and a majority of producers maintain colonial farming practices.
