Brazil, which can be called the "coffee continent", is the world's largest coffee producer and exporter, accounting for about 1% of the world's total output. It is especially famous for Brazilian Brazil Santos, which is exported from Santos port in Sao Paulo state. The raw beans are large, light green or yellowish.

Brazilian Santos, with a mild flavor, is suitable for those who first come into contact with coffee and can drink a touch of sweetness without adding sugar. Acidity and bitterness can be mixed by baking, and it is often used as the base for blending mixed coffee or mamba or Mamba coffee.

Brazil is the country with the largest number of coffee beans in the world, and Brazil is compared to the "giant" and "monarch" of the coffee world. There are about 3.97 billion coffee trees there (data from 1996), and small farmers now grow 75% of the country's coffee production.

Because of the wide variety of Brazilian coffee, we can't just use the word "Brazilian coffee" to include it. Just like other Arabica coffee. Brazilian coffee is called "Brazils" to distinguish it from "Milds" coffee. The vast majority of Brazilian coffee is unwashed and sun-dried and is classified according to the name of the state of origin and the port of transport. Brazil has 21 states and 17 states produce coffee, but four of them produce the most, accounting for 98% of the country's total output. They are Parana, Sao Paulo, Milas Gerais and Esp í rito Santo. The southern state of Parana has the most astonishing production, accounting for 50% of the total. Although coffee is diverse, Brazilian coffee is suitable for the taste of the public.

In Brazil, the second largest producer is Robusta coffee. This kind of coffee is sold in the supermarket. Robusta coffee, sold under the name Cornelon, accounts for 15 per cent of total production. The old Bourbon coffee is grown on some estates in the Serrado district of the state of Milas Gerais in southeastern Brazil. These estates, such as CapinBlanco Manor and Vesta. Allegre Manor, the old variety of coffee grown in Bourbon, is also sold on the market. Although they come from the same area, these coffees have their own characteristics. Cappinblanco coffee is smoother than Vesta Allegre coffee, while Vesta Allegre coffee is strong and black, both of which have relatively low acidity, but, like all Brazilian coffees, they are most suitable for drinking when fresh, because the older they are, the stronger the acidity. These coffee growers have organized themselves into the Brazilian Special Coffee Association. Coffee overall impression flavor there are many kinds, a variety of flavors, but most of them are low-grade coffee, smooth taste recommended low degree of roasting to deep roasting, suitable for a variety of uses good grade.

Also worth mentioning is Bourbon bour bon Santos (named after the French colonial island of Bourbon bour bon. Bourbon is now known as Reunion, where the coffee saplings that brought Para were planted). Known for its mellow, flawless and neutral taste, Santos can be cooked directly alone and is a good partner for Italian beans. The real bourbon Santos is the beans of the first few seasons of mocha coffee trees. The taste is comparable to the high-end Blue Mountain Coffee. In the same coffee tree, only beans harvested in previous periods can be named bourbon. Three or four years later, the characteristics of beans gradually changed, and in the sixth year, they became Flat Bean Santos. Red Santos is sweet, Bourbon Santos is bitter, fresh Santos is sour, and Chen will weaken the sour taste. Recently, the evaluation of the "Guilma Cup" is also very high.

Santos Port is the outer port of Sao Paulo.

Most of the coffee produced in Sao Paulo province is exported by Santos, so it is called Brazil Santos.

There are no high mountains in Brazil, and the temperature is quite high in many areas, resulting in coffee trees blooming many times a year.

As a result, white flowers / green fruits / red fruits are often found on the same branch on the tree.

Coffee harvesting techniques in many countries tend to choose late-ripening and red berries to improve the quality.

But the tradition of Brazilian coffee farmers for hundreds of years is to pick red and white flowers all at once.

Low altitude and extensive harvesting have led to the mediocre (or even poor quality) evaluation of Brazilian coffee.

This kind of tasteless Brazilian beans are most often purchased by traditional operators (of which Santos is the largest)

Fortunately, under the trend of boutique coffee, some Brazilian estates began to attach importance to the quality of their products.

Although they are still difficult to get rid of the insipid style of Brazilian coffee, they are better than those with strange smell or uneven compatriots

: it is much stronger. It also makes many Espresso recipes more comfortable to add Brazilian beans to increase the sticky taste.
