About the Roast:

Much like the United States, Brazil is a country built by immigrants, largely Italian immigrants. In the late 1800s, Brazil needed workers, and the government aimed to place Italian immigrants on plantations. However, the Italians were seeking a better life and opportunity.

Before long, the Italians ditched their plantations jobs and made their way into the city Sao Paulo. They congregated in a part of the city called Bela Vista, which means “Beautiful View”. In Bela Vista, the Italians were able to build a sense of community including their traditional food and drink from the Old World.
