Coffee from Central America

Coffee from the Central America region is renowned for its balance. The first sip reveals an array of aromas, with multiple cocoa flavors becoming even more vibrant against the backdrop of fruit notes. The smooth, sweet口感 carries different layers of acidity, and just imagining it is refreshing. This region is a long-established commercial coffee bean producing area, with varying quality reputations among countries.

Brazilian Coffee

Brazil is located in the Central America region and is the world's largest coffee producer. Not only does it have vast commercial coffee production, but it also offers high-quality premium single-origin coffees. Top-grade Brazilian coffee beans are most famous for their strength, subtle flavor differences, and balance, making them very suitable for use as blend beans to create a mild, clean, low-acidity profile, sometimes with notes of milk chocolate, cherry, and sassafras.

Brazilian coffee is also a frequent component in coffee blends, often serving as the backbone of a cup of coffee. Most Brazilian coffee has gentle, deep flavors reminiscent of roasted hazelnuts and cream, with low acidity and a subtle yet long-lasting aftertaste, with a smooth texture. Japanese people particularly love dark-roasted Brazilian coffee, so Japanese instant or canned coffees typically feature the characteristic "Brazilian flavor."

Common Brazilian growing regions include Cerrado and Sul de Minas. In earlier years, Santos was more commonly seen, but due to its ordinary flavor, it has become less visible in recent specialty coffee trends and is mostly used in blend beans.

The flavor profile has a relatively strong acidity, complementing the coffee's inherent bitter and sweet notes, with a faint grassy aroma. It's smooth on the palate and is a coffee flavor that most people can accept.
