Price not usable
Every price we hold for this coffee works out far outside the believable per kilo range for its own market, or repeats unchanged across different bag sizes, so we will not put a figure to it.
What Miró says about this coffee
Bellavista in the Espresso Subscription
So excellent that we roasted the bean for filter and espresso.
This exceptional young Geisha is elegant and expressive, opening with delicate jasmine florals and bright bergamot on the nose.

Vibrant and luminous across all brewing methods.
About the producers
In the central Colombian mountains, Gabriel and Flor Mendoza started with coffee cultivation 35 years ago.

What the roaster says about where it came from

How it sits among coffee from Colombia
Miró describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet, citrus, tea-like. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Colombia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
tea-like is unusual here — 7% of coffee from Colombia are described that way.
