Supermarkets and bakeries sell roasted and ground coffee, vacuum-packed products that keep it fresh for a long time, or coffee in paper bags that can be bought at airports.

"Coffee Sinho"(cafezinho) is Brazil's favorite cup of strong black coffee, in Brazil, please drink a cup of coffee Sinho is a habit, but also an important courtesy of hospitality, just like the Chinese tea. Brazil is the world's largest coffee producer, known as the "coffee kingdom" said. It is said that coffee was first discovered by an old shepherd in the Kafa region of Ethiopia. As his sheep were particularly excited and active after eating a red berry in the bush, he was surprised and ate a few, and he was excited to dance. Coffee was born from then on.

The French transplanted the plant first to Guyane française and then to other places. It was not until the 18th century that Brazil, eager to obtain coffee seeds, managed to obtain some mature coffee beans and five coffee saplings from Guyana. It was the reproduction of these seeds and seedlings that made Brazil's dream of "coffee kingdom" come true. At that time, in Europe, drinking coffee had developed from a unique enjoyment of the aristocracy to the fashion of the common people, and the market demand increased greatly. Several Brazilian states have soils and climates that are particularly suitable for coffee cultivation, so coffee cultivation has grown rapidly and expanded to the southwest.

According to statistics, between 1820 and 1840, Brazil's coffee production increased by 206%, much higher than the growth of coffee production in other parts of the world. For example, between 1825 and 1850, the world coffee production increased threefold, but Brazil increased fivefold, becoming the world's first coffee producer and exporter. Coffee cultivation has also become a new pillar of Brazil's economy. Until 1960, coffee exports accounted for 56.2% of its foreign exchange earnings, and Brazil experienced great economic development since then. In 1980, coffee exports still accounted for a significant share of 13.8% of total exports. No wonder brazilians call it "green gold." When we were living in Brazil, we were invited to spend the weekend on a coffee plantation. The owner accompanied us into the green coffee garden, a glance, coffee trees horizontal rows, vertical rows, uniform, a bit like Chinese tea garden, but coffee trees taller than tea trees, can grow to about 3 meters, oval leaves were opposite, leaf axils full of green fruit, the owner said, until May-June, mature fruit will become red, also to harvest coffee beans season. The coffee processing process, which requires a high degree of expertise, was followed.

At last we were cordially invited into the coffee-room of the estate, where a Negro woman brewed a cup of coffee for each of us in the traditional way from hot freshly ground coffee beans, but it was rich in aroma and tasted carefully. It tasted better than ordinary instant coffee. After drinking it, it still had a mouthful of fragrance. It was the most delicious coffee we had ever drunk.

Brazilians love coffee and drink coffee well. Coffee with hot milk is a traditional breakfast drink throughout Brazil, and Brazilians call breakfast "morning coffee"(cafedamanha). They drink coffee before going to work, at meetings, and often stand in front of sidewalk cafes for a drink while walking down the street. Coffee is an indispensable source of energy for most Brazilians.
