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 methods.

The program focuses on performing natural or honey processing on micro lots, with final cupping scores exceeding 85 points to earn the HiU certification mark. This creates a win-win situation for both estate owners and processors.

Flavor Profile

Orange, nuts, genmaicha (brown rice tea), peanuts

While Brazil offers numerous coffee varieties, its industrial policy focuses on mass production and affordability, making exceptional premium coffees relatively rare. However, Brazilian coffee serves as an excellent choice for blending with other coffees.

Brazilian coffee features low acidity complemented by its sweet bitterness, creating an exceptionally smooth mouthfeel with subtle grassy aromatics. The light fragrance with slight bitterness, smooth sweetness, and refreshing afterlife provide a pleasant experience. While Brazilian coffee may not have particularly outstanding advantages, it also lacks obvious flaws. This mild, smooth flavor profile with low acidity, moderate body, and subtle sweetness combines all these gentle flavors together, presenting the best challenge for the taste buds to distinguish each element individually.

In some estates within the Cerrado region of Minas Gerais state in southeastern Brazil, ancient Bourbon and Yellow Catuai varieties are cultivated. Although originating from the same region, these coffees each possess 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 global coffee trading market. Although Brazil faces natural disasters several times higher than other regions, its sufficient planting area compensates for these challenges.
