There are many kinds of coffee in Brazil, and like other Arabica coffee, the vast majority of Brazilian coffee is not washed but dried, and they are 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 five of them produce the largest, accounting for 98% of Brazil's total national production. They are Parana, Sao Paulo, Minas Gerais, Espirito Santo and Bashiya. The southern state of Parana has the most astonishing production, accounting for 50% of the total.

Brazilian coffee is characterized by low acidity, rich oil, rich mellow, suitable for medium roasting and Italian roasting formula coffee beans. Brazil is vividly compared to the "giant" and "monarch" of the coffee world because it is the world's largest coffee producer. There are about 3.97 billion coffee trees there, and small farmers now grow 75% of Brazil's total coffee production.

The number of coffee producers in Brazil is twice or even three times that of Colombia, the third largest coffee producer in the world. Brazilian coffee is widely grown in flat areas. In order to adapt measures to local conditions, Brazilian landlords have developed improved Arabica coffee trees that do not require highland or shade decades ago, which can be planted on plains or grasslands and directly exposed to the sun, which is different from the traditional shade cultivation at higher elevations.
