Bella Vista Estate is located in Tres Ríos, one of Costa Rica’s oldest and most respected coffee-growing regions. The Vessel family has cultivated coffee here since the early 1900s, building more than a century of knowledge within the same volcanic landscape.

Grown under shade at approximately 1,400 metres, this SHB-grade coffee combines Caturra and Catuai varieties and is processed using the traditional washed method. One of the things that stands out at Bella Vista Mill is that the entire process happens on-site. The Vessel family oversees everything from cultivating under shade to selective harvesting, eco-friendly milling, sun drying and preparing the coffee for export. This integrated production model allows consistency, traceability, and quality from one harvest to the next.
