Specialty coffee roastery and café on boulevard Garibaldi in the 15th, open since March 2022.

Balanced, sweet, clean
An experimental-process lot: a short high-temperature pressure shock caramelises the mucilage sugars, which are then added back as a gel for a long 84-hour heated fermentation. Source: belhorizon.coffee.
Intense fermentation, syrupy, complex
From the Incahuasi Cooperative, which promotes agroforestry, organic composting and shade-grown cultivation; high altitude pushes the harvest peak to October–December, the latest in Peru. Source: belhorizon.coffee.
Clean, sweet, late-harvest Peru
A Pacas lot from producer Manuel that Bel Horizon rates as its favourite of the relationship so far — very likely the most complex season yet. Source: belhorizon.coffee.
Complex, sweet, delicate
Red Bourbon cherries dried whole on raised beds between Lake Kivu and the Nyungwe forest, for a generous, sunlit natural. Source: belhorizon.coffee.
Ripe banana, brown sugar, toffee apple
Heritage Typica and Bourbon from garden plots on volcanic soils around Okapa, fully washed and carefully dried for a classic, clean cup with trail-mix sweetness. Source: belhorizon.coffee.
Baker's chocolate, raisin, lemon zest
A Colombian Castillo from third-generation producer Jairo Arcila, layered onto a Peru base. Whole cherries get a 72-hour dry anaerobic ferment inoculated with wine yeast and coconut, then a honey de-pulp and a slow, low-temperature dry-down. Source: belhorizon.coffee.
