Brazil continues to up it’s game in terms of coffee quality. And it should as it grows and exports 40% of the world’s coffee. Bella Giana is a good example of their desire to achieve an increased presence in the quality coffee market.
The ingredients are certainly here: 100% traceable origin, premium growing region and higher cup quality. This coffee is drawn from five UTZ certified farms in the Mogiana growing region north of Sao Paolo. These are: Fazenda Sao Jose, Fazenda Santa Maria do Igarai, Fazenda Bella Vista, Fazenda Sera Nova and Fazenda Sao Vicente. It’s then processed using the pulped natural method, which releases greater sweetness than wet process, whilst retaining some of the body of dry process (more details below).
In the cup this is a typical good brazil, great as a relaxing French press, or siphon.
Cup characteristics: A flowery, soft acidity with a sweet, spicy body. and chocolaty, nutty, buttery aftertaste.

The Pulped Natural Process. The pulped natural method consists of pulping a coffee, butemitting the fermentation stage to remove the silverskin. This results in a beverage that has characteristics of both a dry- and wet-processed coffee. It is often sweeter than wet processed coffees, has some of the body of a dry-processed coffee, but also retains some ofthe acidity of a wet-processed coffee. This type of processing can only occur in countrieswhere the humidity is low and the coffee covered in the sweet mucilage can be dried rapidly without fermenting. Brazil has made this method famous and produces some of the best pulped natural coffees in the world. All twenty winners of the Gourmet Cup competition in Brazil in 2000 processed their coffees using the pulped natural method.
