About Us

The history of Bella Vista Coffee Estate is deeply connected to family, land, and vision.

In 1898, Arnold André Vessel, the family’s great-grandfather, arrived from Germany and purchased 550 hectares of land in Costa Rica. By 1904, he had established the coffee business that would lay the foundation for Bella Vista’s enduring legacy.

​

For generations, the estate has remained connected to the traditions of Tres Ríos — a region internationally admired for producing coffees of refinement, balance, and aromatic complexity. Today, Bella Vista stands as a continuation of that heritage: a coffee grown at origin, shaped by altitude, volcanic soil, and a long-standing commitment to quality.
