Introduction to Coffee cultivation in Qianjie Brazilian Queen Manor

Brazil first introduced coffee trees from French Guiana in 1720, and then the government monitored the coffee industry to ensure the smooth development of the coffee industry, and introduced a policy of minimum price protection for coffee farmers. stimulate farmers' intention to grow coffee.

There are mainly two kinds of topography in Brazil, one is the Brazilian plateau above 500 meters above sea level, and the other is the Brazilian plain below 200 meters above sea level. The main cultivated and well-known variety is bourbon (including yellow bourbon, red bourbon, Pingdou Shan du Shi). The taste of Brazilian coffee is mainly characterized by low acidity, nutty flavor, balanced and moderate thickness. In the world of boutique coffee, Brazilian coffee beans are not outstanding, but Brazilian coffee is often used as a blending variety in Italian coffee. Because of the high degree of balance, it is often used by merchants as blue mountain flavor beans.

Unlike most of the world's coffee grown in the mountains, most of Brazil's coffee is grown in the plains. Although the plains of Brazil are low above sea level (also 600-900m). But the area is wide, and it is located in the temperate zone, and the temperature is suitable, so it is also suitable for coffee growth. So Brazil has adopted a strategy of winning by quantity.

For this reason, Brazilian coffee does not have the hardness and strong sour taste of high-altitude coffee, and the beans themselves are soft, so most Brazilian commercial beans are easy to bake and taste softer.

South Minas is the hilly woodland of 700m-1200m above sea level. It is the earliest coffee production area in Brazil. Due to the increase in labor costs, it is now mostly harvested by machinery, and it is also the earliest commercialized area of coffee. We can see that many large exporters are also standing here. Bahia, which is located in the north of Brazil, mainly produces washing Brazil. Espiritu Santo, near the sea, is the main export area of Brazilian Robusta varieties.
