When it comes to Brazilian Santos, apart from the football team, I believe many people will think of coffee. Santos is a port in southeastern Brazil. In the past, the name of the port was printed on the export of coffee (generic coffee) from different provinces, but unknown importers promoted Santos as a coffee variety. In fact, similar confusion occurred in the Yemeni port of Mocha.
Brazil is the largest country in Latin America and the world's largest coffee producer in the past 150 years. 1/3 of the world's coffee comes from Brazil, followed by Vietnam, Colombia and Indonesia. The annual production of Minas Gerais province in the south-east alone (20 million bags) has exceeded the national capacity of neighbouring Colombia (about 10 million bags). In addition, Sao Paulo, ESP í rito Santo and Bahia also belong to boutique coffee producing areas. Among them, Sul de Minas (that is, the south of Minas Gerais) has won 90% of the top 20 award-winning coffee of Cup of Excellence (COE) in the past two years.
But behind the brilliant record lies overdevelopment and logging. A tropical rainforest nurtured by the Amazon has been uninhabited for thousands of years. But since the economic incentives of coffee exports in the 18th century, Brazil's primitive ecology has gradually become a mechanized agricultural factory. Legend has it that this history began when an army colonel seduced the wife of the French governor and obtained the seeds in 1723. After black slavery and the subsequent European immigration land distribution system, Brazil's coffee production capacity once reached half of the world's demand. But with the subsequent collapse of commodity markets and "soil fatigue" (as Brazilian farmers say) caused by excessive grain production, farmers have changed their targets from quantity to quantity, coinciding with the rise of the boutique movement in recent years.
In terms of planting environment, since there are few highlands of more than 3000 feet in Brazil, coupled with the lack of volcanic soil (Volcanic Soil), it is actually not conducive to growing coffee. The early spread depended on the immediate nutrients provided by the uncultivated red-purple soil (Terra Roxa) and the primeval forests burned to ashes. As a result, Brazilian coffee is not sour, but its strong cocoa and nut flavors, coupled with a mellow taste, make Brazilian coffee the favorite of Italian formula beans. Brazil is also a common basic ingredient (base coffee), whether it is a chain or boutique.
Study on bean seeds since the 1930s
Due to congenital conditions, the Brazilian government has invested a lot of resources to improve varieties and disease resistance since the 1930s. Among them, the results of bean research still affect the planting habits of Latin America as a whole. For example, they cultivated the natural variety Yellow Bourbon of Bourbon from 1/1000000 opportunities in the 1930s, discovered Caturra (the Bourbon variety) in the 1940s, followed by Mundo Novo (artificial breeding of Typica & Bourbon), Catua í (artificial breeding of Mundo Novo & Caturra), Icatu (with Robusta pedigree) produced in the 1990s, and the rare Acai á (breeding of Mundo Novo). Most of the countries in China and the United States choose suitable varieties from the above list. When my friends encounter problems, they mostly turn to their Brazilian counterparts for advice. The Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture and its academic research institutes established Cons ó rcio Pesquisa Caf é in 1997 to further specialize in coffee planting, disease resistance research and harvesting and treatment. Genoma Caf é, established in 2002, is the forerunner of coffee gene map.
The Cup of Excellence (COE) contest, which represents the boutique sports, is the predecessor of Best of Brazil. Since 1999, 12 countries have participated in the event. In the past, COE only accepted non-tanned coffee, but since Brazilian coffee is mostly sun-treated and farmers' mastery of this technology has improved, since 2012, the conference has held a "Late Harvest" competition specially designed for tanned coffee. In this year's competition, among the top 10 non-tanning groups (Early Harvest), Yellow Bourbon won six and Yellow Catua í three. As for the sun group, Catua í was dominant, accounting for 8. Acai á won the rest of the rankings. It can be seen that the advantages of different kinds of beans will give full play to their potential due to proper handling.
"Brazilian Coffee" has a strong sour taste, with the original sweet and bitter taste of coffee, the entrance is very smooth, and with a hint of grass aroma, slightly bitter in the fragrance, smooth and smooth, is acceptable to most people.
