Brazilian Coffee Profile

While Brazil offers a wide variety of coffee, its industrial policy emphasizes quantity and affordability, making truly exceptional grades relatively rare. However, Brazilian coffee remains an excellent choice for blending with other varieties.

Brazilian coffee features low acidity complemented by pleasant bitterness and sweetness, creating an exceptionally smooth mouthfeel with subtle grassy aromatics. It's light, slightly bitter, mellow, and smooth, with a refreshing aftertaste. Brazilian coffee may not have standout characteristics, but it lacks obvious flaws. This mild, smooth flavor profile with low acidity, moderate body, and subtle sweetness creates a harmonious combination that provides the best test for one's palate to distinguish each delicate note.

In the Cerrado region of Minas Gerais state in southeastern Brazil, some estates grow ancient Bourbon and Yellow Catuai varieties. Although these coffees come from the same region, each possesses distinct characteristics. Despite this diversity, Brazilian coffee appeals to popular tastes. As the largest coffee producer, Brazil's various grades and types account for one-third of global coffee consumption, holding a significant position in the international coffee market. Although Brazil faces natural disasters several times more frequently than other regions, its extensive cultivable area is sufficient to compensate for these challenges.
