Brazil HiU Micro Lot

The HiU program is an initiative to improve coffee quality in Central and South America, proposed by Mr. Graciano Cruz from Panama, a renowned figure in honey processing. The program focuses on applying natural or honey processing methods to micro lots, with only coffees scoring above 85 in cupping being awarded the HiU seal. This creates a win-win situation for both estate owners and processors.

Flavor Notes: Orange, nuts, brown rice tea, peanuts

Brazil offers a wide variety of coffees, but its industrial policy focuses on mass production at low prices, so truly premium coffees are not abundant. However, Brazilian coffee serves as an excellent choice for blending with other coffees.

Brazilian coffee features low acidity combined with pleasant bitterness, creating an exceptionally smooth mouthfeel with subtle grassy aromatics. It delivers a clean fragrance with slight bitterness, smooth and mellow, with a refreshing aftertaste. While Brazilian coffee may not have particularly outstanding characteristics, it also lacks any obvious flaws. This mild, smooth profile with low acidity, moderate body, and subtle sweetness creates a harmonious blend of flavors that presents the perfect challenge for discerning palates to distinguish each individual note.

In some estates within the Cerrado region of Minas Gerais state in southeastern Brazil, ancient Bourbon and Yellow Catuai varieties are cultivated. These estates, though from the same region, produce coffees with distinct characteristics. Despite this diversity, Brazilian coffee suits popular tastes. As the largest coffee producer, various grades and types of coffee from Brazil account for one-third of global consumption, holding a significant position in the worldwide coffee trading market. Although Brazil faces natural disasters several times more frequently than other regions, its extensive plantable area more than compensates for this.
