This blend brings together a washed lot from Fazenda Bela Vista, in Sul de Minas, Brazil, and a washed lot from the La Morena women producers' collective in Guatemala. Both are hand-picked and dried under controlled conditions.
Singular's post-it: a round, very smooth espresso with a creamy body, dark chocolate and red fruits on the finish.

Fazenda Bela Vista (Brazil) & La Morena collective (Guatemala)
Sul de Minas (Brazil) & Cubulco (Guatemala), Brazil 🇧🇷 & Guatemala 🇬🇹
Bold is Bell Lane's espresso blend, the meeting of two origins and two stories. In Brazil, Fazenda Bela Vista, in Sul de Minas, carries on a family tradition: selective picking in several passes to harvest only ripe cherries, controlled drying on patios, and a farm that bet early on quality and regional competitions.
In Guatemala, the La Morena collective brings together women producers supported by Volcafe. The programme, launched with four producers, now counts several hundred across the country: technical training, market access and fair pay, to turn cycles of poverty into cycles of prosperity.
Both components are washed. Bell Lane recommends Bold as espresso, but finds it just as much at home for anyone who likes a traditional cup, full of body, texture and sweetness.
Bell Lane Coffee
Ireland 🇮🇪
Bell Lane has been roasting in Mullingar, County Westmeath, since 2012. Stephen and Denise Bell built their coffee house far from the expected capitals of specialty, in a town in the Irish midlands more readily associated with wet roads and warehouses than with cupping tables. That very contrast is what makes Bell Lane endearing. The brand was born of a very concrete wish: to create an everyday coffee with the standards of a serious roastery, then push the model further, visiting farms, rethinking purchasing, and committing to progress year after year.
The documented turning point came around 2020, when Bell Lane claimed a shift towards an approach built on producers met and followed over time. Stephen Bell explained at the time that the team had visited Brazil and Honduras, two origins that already accounted for 30 percent of their green coffee that year. A figure like that says a lot. This is not postcard scenery but the real logistics of green coffee: the lots to taste, contract, receive, roast, then adjust so that the espresso stays stable and the filter keeps its clarity.
At the Clonmore Business Park roastery, Bell Lane works in small batches, with a declared preference for balance between acidity, body and aromatic clarity. Their range speaks to partner cafés as much as to home drinkers, with profiles designed to hold up on an espresso machine, a V60 or a batch brewer without losing their structure. The team regularly shares its origin trips, packaging choices, environmental projects and culture of continuous improvement, a vocabulary sometimes overused in coffee, but here backed by measurable commitments.
In 2024, Bell Lane earned B Corp certification, with a B Impact score of 87.9. The local press noted that the roastery thereby became the first business in Westmeath, and the first Irish specialty roaster, to achieve this recognition. It is not a taste in the cup, of course. But it is a reliable clue to how Stephen, Denise and their team think about coffee: as a chain of precise decisions, from buying the green to the bag you open in the morning.
