In-depth understanding of the grade of Brazilian coffee beans in Brazil, the largest coffee producer in the world.

Boutique coffee is getting better and better. I have tasted single product, Blue Mountain, cat shit, and geisha coffee. What new flavor can stimulate the tongue? In recent years, the rise of coffee called "Raisin" or "Re-passed" is still in the experimental stage and the output is very small. Recently, the coffee bean won the Cup of Excellence competition and reached a new high of US $126.1 (about 984.5 yuan) per pound in the subsequent CoE green coffee auction.

"Raisin" or "Re-passed" coffee, which belongs to a category of semi-washing treatment, refers to coffee fruits that are overripe on the tree and float to the surface with other beans of poor quality because they are lighter in the water because they have been on the tree for a long time. In the past, the fruit of this kind of coffee would be screened out, but in recent years, coffee experts believe that this kind of coffee is sweeter and more flavor than traditional semi-washed coffee. In Brazil, coffee farmers separate the Raisin from other floating beans and recollect them.

The winner of the CoE competition was Yellow Bourbon Experimental Coffee from Fazenda Bom Jardim Farm in Brazil. The competition jury rated it as "extraordinary flavor" with a high score of 92.33.

Gabriel Alves Nunes, 28, the third-generation head of the farm, specially studied the collection method of Raisin in order to participate in the competition. Nunes said that at the best time when the coffee fruit is ripe, collect it manually, put it in a bucket on the truck, park the truck in the forest for 36 hours, wait for the coffee fruit to be fermented without oxygen, and then remove the pulp and air-dry it.

The Cup of Excellence competition and auction, first held in Brazil in 1999, are now hosted by Alliance for Coffee Excellence in Portland, Oregon, USA, with the assistance of domestic partners, with coffee selected from member States to participate in the competition, and finally ranked by cup evaluation to participate in online auctions. Participating in the auction are all award-winning coffees in the CoE "Brazil Pulped Naturals" category, with 21 winning coffees selling for an average of $12.75 per pound, also a record high.
