Made in JAPAN DECAF Project11: Deep-roasted Brazilian Bella Vista Bourbon Decaf
Made in JAPAN DECAF Project 11: BRASIL BELLA VISTA
Brazil is the number one producing country, and the Minas Gerais region in particular is a mecca for specialty coffee beans, a wonderful production area that produces a very gentle sweetness and aroma.
Because it is a very delicate bean, it does not have the strong flavor or impact of African beans, but it has a very soothing taste and is a type of bean that you will want to drink every day.
This time we used a city roast to bring out the nutty, almond-like flavors.
There is a gentle acidity, but it's not too bothersome. The sweetness is also an important flavor, so please enjoy the sweetness as you eat it.
The main features of this bean are: Amarelo Bourbon (yellow). Pulped natural method. Minas South, Brazil.

[About the farm]
Bellavista Farm was opened by the Lima Reis family in 1923, and initially made a living from pasture farming, but soon switched to coffee cultivation. Currently, the third generation, Antonio (Tony), has taken over. Their coffee farm, which covers 430 hectares, is thoroughly environmentally friendly and has obtained various certifications. Before inheriting the land from his predecessor, the current owner Tony thoroughly studied general agricultural knowledge and techniques and coffee cultivation from Professor Paulo de Sousa, an agronomist at the Lavras Agricultural University. In 1964, he married his current wife, Isabella, and made a home on the farm. He was blessed with children, and decided to farm while protecting nature, animals, and water so that his children would continue to love this farm in the future. Now, the farm is rich in nature and full of flora and fauna. They have also purchased new machines for sorting, and are producing high-quality dried ion tree processing and pulped natural processing. Utilizing three generations of coffee cultivation history and current cultivation technology, this farm is one of the most sustainable producers of high-quality coffee in Southern Minas Gerais.
