Introduction

Since coffee trees were introduced from French Guiana in 1720, coffee production has gradually evolved into a science. Before 1990, the Brazilian government maintained strict control over the coffee industry, implementing both harsh interventions and price protection measures. The state consistently provided minimum price protection for farmers, which eventually led to coffee overproduction. Before World War II, surplus inventory reached as high as 78 million bags, which later had to be destroyed by burning or disposal in water.

Since the market liberalization in 1990, the original "Brazilian Coffee Administration" (IBC) was replaced by the National Economic Federation - a non-investment administrative body that pursued a non-interference policy, allowing producers to negotiate directly with exporters. Exporters' business activities are supervised by government legislation, with relevant departments registering legitimate exporters.

Brazilian coffee comes in numerous varieties. Like other Arabica coffees, the vast majority of Brazilian coffee is not washed but sun-dried. They are classified according to their state of origin and shipping port.

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

Brazilian coffee is characterized by low acidity, rich oils, full body, and suitability for medium roasting and espresso blends. Brazil is figuratively described as the "giant" and "monarch" of the coffee world, as it is the world's largest coffee-producing country. There are approximately 3.97 billion coffee trees there, with small farmers now growing 75% of Brazil's total coffee production. This region is jokingly called the "CoE Top 10 battleground" - Brazil has twice or even three times as many people engaged in coffee production as Colombia, which is the world's third-largest coffee-producing country.

Brazilian coffee is generally grown in relatively flat areas. To adapt to local conditions, Brazilian estate owners cultivated improved Arabica coffee trees decades ago that don't require high altitudes or shade. These can be planted on plains or grasslands, directly exposed to the bright sun, unlike traditional higher-altitude shade cultivation methods.

The Carmo de Minas region boasts beautiful scenery in the southern part of Sul de Minas, Brazil. Its unique geographical features include soil rich in minerals with volcanic rock components, outstanding water quality with diverse natural sparkling mineral springs (even establishing a sparkling mineral water park), and variable microclimates. These factors make this region's high-quality coffee one of Brazil's important specialty bean producing areas and the small region with the most awards in Brazil's annual Cup of Excellence (COE) competition.

Carmo de Minas also hosts the annual "Best of Carmo de Minas" independent coffee competition, which can be called Brazil's "CoE Top 10" PK competition, as participants are almost all COE-winning estates, with no shortage of Top 10 or even champions among them. This demonstrates the importance of the Carmo de Minas producing region's status.

Fazenda Alta Vista belongs to the Robson Vilela family. He purchased 84 hectares of land in 2001 and began planting coffee in 2004. The first harvest was in 2007. As an 84-hectare coffee estate, it is considered a small estate locally. The Carmo de Minas region benefits from ideal natural conditions, including altitude, misty climate, and fertile soil, with an annual rainfall of 1,850mm and an average annual temperature of 18°C.

This batch of Carmo de Minas Fazenda Alta Vista Pulped Natural offers flavor notes of orange chocolate, apple, brown sugar and hazelnut syrup, with smooth sweet acidity and rich, full-bodied texture.
