South American Coffee Brands: Characteristics of Brazilian Cerrado Coffee Beans and Mountain-Produced Chocolate Flavors
FrontStreet Coffee - Introduction to Brazil Cerrado Region
Thirty years ago, the Cerrado region of Brazil was virtually unknown to the world. It once stood as a desolate mountain, quietly situated in Brazil, which is why "Cerrado" means "savanna" or "wild land" in Portuguese. Today, however, Cerrado has become a renowned coffee-producing region, with flat highlands facilitating large-scale mechanized cultivation. Its unique soil and abundant groundwater are essential ecological conditions for producing high-quality coffee in Cerrado.
Cerrado's superior soil and climate are inherent. The early coffee farmers who developed this land integrated modern agricultural concepts with Cerrado's agricultural techniques, overcoming harsh natural environments and transforming this "wild land" into a cultivation area for producing high-quality coffee, which became the economic pillar of the local community. Currently, Brazil's Cerrado coffee has become synonymous with high-quality coffee. In 2005, the high-quality Arabica coffee harvested in Cerrado was officially certified as "Cerrado Coffee" by the Brazilian government according to international standards, claiming it to be widely recognized. To use the Cerrado designation within the region, one must pass certification tests and meet production quality standards.
The evaluation of green beans must include certified production regions, production area elevation, confirmed varieties, optimal soil, and best agricultural techniques. Only when these conditions are met and the beans score above 75 points using SCAA evaluation methods can they be granted the Cerrado designation.
Brazil Cerrado originally did not meet the high-altitude, shade-grown requirements for specialty coffee beans. However, by chance, it developed a unique Brazilian soft bean flavor characterized by low acidity, prominent nutty notes, excellent sweetness and body, with less obvious floral and fruity aromas. For coffee connoisseurs, Brazilian coffee has neither particularly outstanding advantages nor obvious flaws. This coffee, with mild flavors, low acidity, moderate body, subtle sweetness, and chocolate notes, presents the best challenge for the palate to distinguish them individually.
Brazil cleverly utilizes these mixed mild flavors, classifying coffee into five grades to interpret its unique, gentle, and smooth Brazilian soft bean aesthetics: Strictly Soft, Soft, Softish, Hardish, and Rioy, which grade the quality of the beans.
Key Point: Compared to other regions, Cerrado region beans are particularly famous for their uniform flavor, good acidity, and sweetness.
