What surrounds the farm, seen from space in a satellite land survey from 2021. Most of it reads as tree cover — that is the landscape this coffee grows in.
The soil beneath
very acidic (pH 5) · very high in organic matter (42.1 g/kg organic carbon in the topsoil) · sandy clay — 36% clay, 48% sand, 16% silt

Questions people ask.
What makes Sítio Bela Vista distinctive?
Its size, and who runs it. A sítio is a smallholding — this one belongs to Alexandre Emerich, who left Rio de Janeiro as a young man for his father's home country in the Caparaó, and who is a certified coffee grader with specialist training in fermentation. The person tasting the coffee is the person growing it.
Where is the Caparaó?
A mountain range on the border of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo, home to some of Brazil's highest peaks — and, on its cooler slopes, a region that has been quietly building a reputation for small-lot specialty coffee.
How high does this coffee grow?
Satellite mapping measures roughly 910 m at the farm's mapped point, on the slopes above Alto Jequitibá. Coffee plots often sit higher up a property than its gate, so treat the roaster's own listing as the guide for any specific lot.
Where can I buy its coffees in Europe?
Right now 2 roasters in 1 countries list coffees from this farm — each card above links to the roaster's own shop.
Where does Daily Roast get this information?
From the roasters' own listings, the farm's public materials, and Europe's Copernicus Earth-observation programme. We only publish what we can check — and we say so when something is an estimate.
