Oberon Manor, Brazil. Sun-dried beans.

Brazil is the largest coffee producer in the world, accounting for about 30% of coffee production, but because Brazil is located in tropical rain forest areas with relatively flat terrain and few high-altitude mountain forests, most coffee is grown in low-altitude non-volcanic soil areas. And there is not much shade for shading, resulting in the disadvantage that Brazilian beans grow quickly, but the density and soft flavor of coffee does not change much. Coupled with large-scale machine harvesting of coffee beans with a wide range of maturity differences in coffee harvesting at the same time, so that the quality of Brazilian beans is not particularly outstanding has always stayed in the category of commercial beans.

After 2000, due to the inducement of coffee competition, the quality of coffee beans produced in the high-altitude areas of the south was appreciated, mainly by the farms around the Minas platform, and the coffee quality was also the leading production of Brazilian beans, such as Syracuse in the west of Menas and Matas in the east, Bashiya in the north or small farms in the south, Menas almost became synonymous with Brazilian boutique coffee. In recent years, the coffee competition is so accurate that it is separated by treatment (water treatment, half water washing, half sun drying), which has developed a variety of flavors and taste, which is completely different from that of traditional Brazilian coffee. In particular, the half-sun method and the sun method perform best, the aroma of clean low-acid fruit increases, so that the rich chocolate flavor is reduced.

Oberon Manor, located at an elevation of 1500 meters above sea level in Minas, is a natural sunburn method of coffee beans. The natural sun drying method is to directly put the newly harvested coffee beans in the sun drying farm and then remove the skin and polishing film to bag them. In recent years, many Brazilian farms have switched to sun-dried coffee beans, in addition to strengthening and replenishing the weaker aroma and flavor of Brazilian beans. The shortage of water resources and the increasing cost of oil and electricity (dryers) are also the reasons for farmers to change.
