FT Golden Cup 8th Place Micro-lot Category: Jarbas Cleto Lopes

My name is Jarbas Cleto Lopes, and in 1985 I found my passion in the coffee shop when I acquired Sítio Bela Vista, at 1,350 meters above sea level, in São Gonçalo do Sapucaí. Today, we grow 70 thousand coffee trees, and each harvest we take care of every detail to guarantee quality beans, from planting to post-harvest.

We are proud to be Fairtrade certified, guaranteeing fair trade practices, decent work and respect for the environment. Our Certifica Minas certification by Emater reinforces our commitment to good agricultural practices and sustainability.

Everything at Sítio Bela Vista is tracked since farming, and we have already had around 30 lots awarded among the best in the state and in Brazil. However, what I value most is the transformation in the way we work, always seeking excellence and innovation.

With 27 hectares, 8.5 of which are protected areas, we continue producing with respect for nature and people. When you choose our coffee, you get a product of exceptional quality and with a positive impact on the future.
