José Antonio Debona Romão is of Italian descent and was raised on his family’s property, Sitio Corrego da Prata, in Castelo, Espirito Santo. His father, José Romão, acquired the farm in the 1960s and planted the first coffee trees at that time. They continued working in partnership with his brother, increasing the production area and improving the management.
In 2000, José Antonio began depulping coffee with the intention of improving quality and adding value. Lot by lot, he began identifying the property’s potential po produce specialty coffee and his coffees were awarded prizes in various cup competitions.
In 2018, the partnership was dissolved and José Antonio continued to produce pulped natural coffee and assembled his own machinery, investing in an improved structure to produce specialty coffees.
Currently, José Antonio works a nine-hectare farm with his family and selectively harvests cherries. He is motivated to continue to produce specialty coffee and his son, José Vitor, is eager to continue the process that he learns from his father day by day.
This lot is from his farm, Sitio Bela Vista, and is a wonderful wintertime coffee with a smooth balanced cup profile filled with warm cozy flavors of cocoa, hazelnuts and blackberries.

Delayed, Lost or Stolen Packages
We will do our best to help troubleshoot with you, but we
cannot control what happens when your package leaves the roasting
facility. Once the package has been picked up, it is out of our hands.
Holidays, severe weather, carrier staff shortage and high package volumes are causing delays in package transit time.
As a small business, we are unable to absorb the costs of
packages being lost in transit. We cannot refund orders that are marked
as delivered with a tracking number, even if a customer is stating they
haven’t received the package.
For UPS claims, please email us at georgio@georgioscoffee.com
When checking out, *Please make sure your address is correct!*
In order to balance getting your coffee out to
you as quickly as possible with freshness of roast we ship all coffee as
ordered within one week of the roast date. We typically roast
Wednesdays and Fridays.
In our experience most coffees
taste best after a few days rest, and high quality coffees stay at peak
flavor up to six weeks post roast.
