FrontStreet Coffee · Introduction to Brazilian Coffee Bean Growing Regions and Flavor Characteristics

Brazilian coffee generally refers to coffee produced in Brazil. There are numerous varieties of Brazilian coffee, with the vast majority being unwashed and directly sun-dried. They are classified according to their state of origin and shipping ports.

Brazil has 21 states, with 17 states producing coffee. However, four states have the highest production volumes: Paraná, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Espírito Santo. The southern state of Paraná has the most astonishing production, accounting for 50% of the total output. Together, these states account for 98% of the country's total production.

Flavor Profile

Brazilian coffee features lower acidity in its taste profile, complemented by the sweet bitterness of coffee. It enters the mouth extremely smoothly, carrying a faint grassy aroma. The light fragrance with a hint of bitterness creates a smooth, sweet mouthfeel, while the aftertaste leaves one feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Global Significance

Brazil is vividly described as the "giant" and "monarch" of the coffee world, with approximately 39.7 billion coffee trees. Small farm owners now produce 75% of Brazil's total national coffee output. The number of people engaged in coffee production in Brazil is 2 to 3 times that of Colombia, which is the world's second-largest coffee-producing country.

Economic Impact

Unlike in the past, Brazil's economy now depends less on coffee, which accounts for only 8%-10% of the gross national product. Before World War II, Brazil's total coffee production accounted for 50% or more of the world's total; now it is close to 30%. However, the country's influence on global coffee, especially on coffee prices, remains substantial. For instance, two frost disasters in 1994 caused a surge in global coffee prices.
