Finca Bellavista is named after Rio Bellavista, which flows through the middle of the community, and for the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding vistas, vibe, and bountiful flora and fauna present. Finca Bellavista is a residential treehouse community in its formative years in the south Pacific coastal region of Costa Rica. We are a rustic, yet comfortable, private retreat off the beaten path where owners and limited numbers of guests can explore the natural wonders of the rainforest canopy and enjoy what we like to call 'treetop Pura Vida'. You definitely won't find flashy billboards or roadside signs that lead you to Finca Bellavista… Finca Bellavista is not a full-service spa, a fancy hotel, or a canopy tour. We are located in an amazing and relatively untouched portion of Costa Rica that is removed from many of the influences of the outside world. Our neighbors and friends are indigenous families and hard-working farmers. The nearest town (1.5 miles away) contains a school, a church, a pulperia, a bus stop, a handful of houses, and of course, a soccer field.
Finca El Paraíso is located in the Cauca region – Colombia, where it currently has 10 farms and an annual production capacity of 940 tons.
Present in more than 86 countries on 5 continents, Finca El Paraíso is synonymous of excellence in the coffee market, being recognized by the main roasters and baristas as one of the most revolutionary coffee producers in the world.
But what really made Finca El Paraíso world-renowned was not the revolution in the sensory universe (what it also did), but the achievement of a level of consistency previously unimaginable for coffee.
This was only possible because we did not came from a generational family of Colombian coffee farmers, and therefore we were never attached to tradition. We dared to do what everyone said was impossible and in doing so we brought a real disruption to coffee production.
Through the use of proprietary technology, developed in-house based on our studies and experiments in the area of microbiology and coffee processing, Finca El Paraíso has always aimed to mitigate the action of climatic effects on the sensorial characteristics of coffee at each harvest.
From the creation of the thermal shock technique for the fixation of aromatic precursors in the internal cellular structure of the coffee beans, passing through the development of a drying equipment that works by condensation to avoid the volatilization of aromas, until reaching the use of an exclusive yeast-mediated biocatalysis process that allows absolute control of the coffee fermentation, everything has been thought out to achieve the highest level of consistency and replicability.
