Brazil is one of the leading coffee producing countries in the world, no matter in commercial coffee or fine coffee, it has a place in the market, located in the southern Minas region of Minas province, belonging to the Serra da Mantiqueira Mountains, with an average elevation of more than 1000 meters, the Qiuleng Valley is crisscrossed, it is a good place to grow quality coffee, and half of the winning estates in the Brazilian Excellence Cup Test Competition come from here. Sitio Grota Funda, located near the town of Carmo de Minas in South Minas, was acquired in 1992 and immediately began to grow coffee. The owner of the estate was born into a coffee family that has been engaged in coffee production in Carmo de Minas since 1967. After taking over the management of the family business, he continued to refine his coffee profession, from planting to postharvest treatment, and invested in the construction of processing equipment to improve the quality of the coffee produced. This product is treated by peeling and sunbathing, which is popular in Brazil. the fully ripe coffee cherries are removed by a peeling machine on the same day after picking. Coffee seeds with berry pulp and pectin are placed on a patio or on an elevated bed for sun drying. After continuous and irregular turning and careful care, the drying operation continues until the moisture content is reduced to about 11%. Then move it into the wooden warehouse and let it sit for a period of time to make the flavor more ripe. The endocarp (Parchment) is removed from the coffee beans before export, adding to the mild and mellow sweetness of the coffee.
