Our common producing areas of Santos Santos and Mochiana Mogiana are Sirado Cerrado and South Minas Sul de Minas from Sao Paulo,Minas Gerais, which produce high-quality Brazilian coffee beans because of their high altitude. Cerrado is located to the west of Minas Gerais, a flat plateau at 750m--1200m above sea level, where most of the coffee beans are harvested by machines. 90% of the coffee beans are produced by large estates.

Note: "PN method, that is, Pulp Natural, refers to the treatment of coffee cherries after harvest, in which the peel is removed first, and then directly insolated or dried, without fermentation and cleaning of the latter stage, so it is popular in Brazil. In recent years, the honey treatment that we like to talk about is actually derived from the PN method in Brazil. At that time, because we did not know how to translate this PN method, we directly called it" Brazilian peeling and sunburn method ", this is a free translation. )
