FrontStreet Coffee - Introduction to Brazilian Coffee

When it comes to coffee, people always think of Brazil. This country, which originally did not grow coffee, has become a miracle after introducing coffee cultivation in 1720, jumping to become the world's largest coffee cultivation and shipping country.

Although for some time, Brazilian coffee beans have not been considered particularly exceptional in the minds of coffee enthusiasts. No one can deny the tremendous contribution Brazil has made to the coffee industry. One might even say it is pivotal. This is not just in terms of production volume, but also from the perspective of establishing regulatory systems. The Cup of Excellence (COE) competition, born in Brazil in 1999, can be described as the benchmark for modern specialty coffee.

We know that in today's specialty bean field, two scoring systems are often introduced: one is SCAA scoring, the other is COE scoring. Within the industry, the COE system carries greater weight in the intrinsic scoring of coffee beans.

The country of Brazil has an altitude that is not high compared to other American coffee-producing countries. Production areas below 1,000 meters are commonplace, which results in generally softer bean quality in Brazilian beans. After roasting, most Brazilian coffees cannot express the bright acidity similar to high-altitude hard beans from Central America or the complex flavors of African beans. However, this does not mean Brazilian coffee beans are ordinary. Their extremely smooth taste, as well as sweet aftertaste reminiscent of brown sugar, nuts, chocolate, and even vanilla cream, has still won over a large number of coffee enthusiasts.

Currently, the main varieties of Brazilian beans include: Red Bourbon, Yellow Bourbon, Mundo Novo, and Catuai (common in the Diamond Highlands region).

Before 1990, Brazil almost exclusively used natural processing methods. However, times have changed. With the strengthening of Brazil's national power, technological advancement, and the need to adapt to market demands, various processing methods (washed, natural, semi-washed, anaerobic fermentation, etc.) can now be found in Brazil. Among these, Brazil's unique semi-washed processing method is the most famous.
