Brazil - Fazenda Boa Vista Anil - Natural - Barons of Alfenas

Our Sublime designation highlights farm-traceable coffees from smaller, standout lots—distinct from the larger volumes we typically import for our Regional Selects. Each year, we taste through a wide range of offerings from our partners, selecting only the coffees that truly move us. This lot comes from Fazenda Boa Vista Anil, in the small but mighty town of Dom Vicoso. Which is nestled in the heart of Mantiqueira de Minas—one of Brazil’s most historic and celebrated coffee regions. Think Napa Valley of coffee! The name "Boa Vista" speaks both to the breathtaking views of the landscape and the wild indigo plants native to the area. This farm was well known in the early 19th century for its hand- dyed horse saddle blankets. Every bag comes in a custom electric blue bag to celebrate this tradition! With elevations ranging from 1,150 to 1,480 meters and ideal growing conditions—mild temperatures, sunny slopes, and balanced rainfall—Boa Vista enjoys a climate that encourages slow, even cherry maturation, resulting in layered, complex flavor profiles. Behind this farm is agronomist Fernando Cruz Neto and his daughter, Emilia. Since 1972, Fernando has treated the farm as a living laboratory, pioneering techniques in mountain-grown coffee while producing with both precision and a deep sense of environmental and social responsibility. This is a coffee that reflects more than terroir—it reflects legacy, innovation, and care at every stage.
