Minas del Sur is a hilly forest area with an altitude of 700m-1200m. It is the earliest production area of Brazilian coffee. Due to the improvement of labor cost, most of them are now harvested mechanically. It is also the earliest commercial area of coffee. We can see many large exporters here. Bahia, located in the north of Brazil, mainly produces washed Brazil. Santo Espiritu, near the sea, is the main export area of Brazilian Robusta varieties.

Brazil's coffee cultivation is dominated by two types of terrain, one is the Brazilian plateau above 500 meters above sea level, and the other is the Brazilian plain below 200 meters. The main cultivated and well-known varieties are bourbon (including yellow bourbon, red bourbon, and flat bean sandos). The taste of Brazilian coffee is mainly characterized by low acidity, nutty flavor, balance and moderate body. In the world of fine coffee, Brazilian coffee is not outstanding, but Brazilian coffee is often used as a blend variety in Italian coffee. Also because of the high degree of equilibrium, it is often used by merchants as Blue Mountain flavor beans.

Red Bourbon Coffee: Brazilian washed red bourbon coffee

Due to the low yield and susceptibility of the tipica species introduced to Brazil in 1727, the bourbon species was introduced to Brazil around 1860 via Campinas in the south and quickly spread north to other parts of South and Central America.

In Latin America today, Bourbon is still cultivated in El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Peru, etc., although it has largely been replaced by varieties (especially Caturra, Catuai, and Mundo Novo).
