Bella Vista

Meaning ‘beautiful view’, Bella Vista sits at an impressive 2,200 meters above sea level. Due to the area's proximity to the equator and the angle of sunlight the coffee here thrives in this unique volcanic microclimate. The extremely high altitude allows for slow maturation of coffee cherries and results in a sweet and complex profile.

Seemingly located in paradise, living here has been less than ideal for Ulpiano Rodriguez’s family. First, they were forced to move from Nariño to make a living picking Cacao in the 90’s, then having to move back when a violent gang took over the area leaving them to start from scratch. Ulpiano has managed to cultivate a specialty coffee farm expanding three hectares at some of the highest possible altitudes in the world for growing coffee.

Being part of the association ‘Buesaco con Altura’ allows the support he and other farmers in the area need to produce best possible coffee and maintain quality year to year.
