Our coffee journey takes us in the last part to Brazil, the country that produces the most coffee worldwide. Brazil is not only the largest coffee producer in the world, but also a country that offers fantastically diverse flavors. During our journey through this immense country, we discovered how big and important the coffee industry is to Brazil. This is coffee production on an unprecedented scale.
History
The history of coffee in Brazil, like many other countries, begins in the 18th century and here too, coffee rapidly became the country's main crop, currently also one of the main forces of economic growth. Brazilian success in coffee growing is no accident; it is the result of commitment, unprecedented hard work and the ability to adapt to the changing climate. This last point in particular is very impressive and increasingly relevant. Today, Brazil is still the leader in coffee and is doing everything possible to maintain this position.
Regions and species
Minas Gerais:
Responsible for about half of Brazil's total coffee production, its size is enormous. Logically, because the coffee is sweet, balanced and tastes like chocolate and caramel The hills of Minas Gerais are dotted with rows of coffee plants and it is amazing to be able to see this in real life.
São Paulo:
Everyone knows São Paulo and it may stand better as the economic engine of Brazil. But it is more, it is also a major player in coffee production. Unlike Minas Gerais, the coffee from this region has mild acidity with a full, round taste.
Espirito Santo
This region is known for its high-quality robusta coffee, a great contrast to the other two regions, and it is an important part of Brazilian coffee culture. The robusta from Espirito Santo is full-bodied and often used in blends because of its strength.
Innovation and culture
What really sets Brazil apart in the world of coffee is its lead in technology and innovation. The country leads the way in the development of modern processing methods, ensuring high efficiency with excellent quality. From advanced drying techniques to the most innovative links to IoT. Brazil has really taken coffee growing to the next level with a lot of technical developments.
So coffee is not just another drink in Brazil; in every corner of the country, from São Paulo to the small villages, coffee plays a central role in daily life. Small cafes, known as "cafeterias," are cool places where locals and tourists gather to enjoy a cup of coffee. Want to get acquainted with the most professional coffee plantations?
