Coffee has been cultivated at Fazenda Bela Época for more than 80 years, running through three 
generations of producers who are passionate about coffee. With fertile soil, lightly undulating land and a 
well-defined microclimate that is highly amenable to growing coffee, the farm stands apart in the 
production of high-quality coffees.
It all started with Mr. Idelbrando, current owner Luiz da Cunha’s grandfather, who originally had a small 
plantation with 20 thousand coffee plants in the family's property in Ribeirão Corrente, in the State of São 
Paulo. At that time, as a small boy, Luiz da Cunha was fascinated by the work that was done on the farm. 
He would help in the fields, even when he was young. In 1973, at the age of 26 and married to Mrs. 
Terezinha, Luiz decided to increase the family’s investment in coffee due to his confidence in its profitability.
The farm’s current name is a reference to the historical period of BELLE EPOQUE at the end of the 19th
century – a time of economic and cultural strength and elegance. 
The farm continues to be a family affair, certainly. "Me and my brother Luis Claudio and my sister Silvia are 
now heads of the business, but our father, Mr. Luiz da Cunha, who is 70 years old, is still in the activity", says 
producer André Cunha, also president of the Alta Mogiana Specialty Coffee Producer Association, 
associated since 2006.
Conservation is a hugely important activity on the farm. 20% of the total farm coverage is under forest 
preserve. All springs are protected, and the family has actively sought the restoration of preservation areas 
and the construction of ecological corridors between conservation zones.
The farm is differentiated also by its work over the last 20 years in the genetic improvement of coffee 
varieties, in partnership with entities such as the Instituto Agronômico de Campinas (IAC) and the 
Fundação Procafé. The secondary agricultural activity on the farm, in fact, is the production of certified 
seeds and saplings. The experimental fields are home to more than 200 different coffee varieties and 
produce 4 million seedlings a year. The work is undertaken with the aim of selecting plants with improved
productivity, an exceptional cup quality, resistance to disease, uniform maturation, longevity, and 
desirable plant architecture. Among the better lines, the following stand out: Bourbon Amarelo IAC J10,
