Brazil (Brazil) famous representative coffee: Santos

Brazil is the largest coffee producer in the world, with the first total output in the world, accounting for about 1% of the world's total output. Brazil is mainly produced in the central and southern provinces. Brazil is suitable for growing coffee, the terrain is relatively flat, coffee gardens are mostly less than 1200 meters above sea level, and there is no shade from big trees, because raw and ripe berries are picked at the same time, so it is not fine coffee.

The quality of Brazilian coffee is average but less excellent, its bean quality is soft, and it is obviously not resistant to heat in the roasting process. Santos is more famous among all varieties, which is named after its export port Santos. Brazilian coffee beans are neutral and can be tasted individually (though a bit monotonous), or mixed with other kinds of coffee beans to form a comprehensive coffee, which is generally considered to be indispensable in blending.

Colombia (Colombia) well-known representative coffee: Colombia

Colombia is the world's second largest exporter of coffee, accounting for about 15% of global production. Its coffee trees are planted in three mountains stretching north and south, with only Arabica species. Although its output ranking is lower than that of Brazil, the coffee beans are of good quality, rich and unique flavor, sweet in acidity and moderate bitterness, which is very suitable for single drink or mixture. Colombian beans and Brazilian beans are both the best choice for basic beans of blended coffee, but their flavor is more mellow and more fragrant than Brazilian beans. In addition to individual products, they are also often used in blending coffee to increase the sweetness of coffee and to blend the bitterness of other coffee.

Vietnam well-known representative coffee: Vietnam

Generally speaking, when it comes to coffee producing areas, we will subconsciously think of some countries in Central and South America or Africa, such as Ethiopia and Colombia. In fact, Vietnam surpassed these countries as early as 1994 to become the second largest producer in the world. In 1857, the French Jesuit introduced coffee to Vietnam for the first time, and Vietnam, which originally drank tea, began to drink coffee. In 1994, when the United States lifted the embargo on Vietnam, it happened that the price of Brazilian coffee soared by 39% due to cold damage. Vietnamese coffee took advantage of its large quantity and low price. This turning point has even helped Vietnam's economic transformation. Before 1994, 60% of the people lived below the poverty line, but only 10% remained after 1994.

Coffee currently accounts for about 3% of Vietnam's GDP and is Vietnam's largest export. Vietnam mainly grows Robusta beans, which are strong in flavor and high in caffeine, but they are not afraid of diseases and insect pests and are cheap, attracting many large coffee factories (such as Nestl é) to set up factories in Vietnam. In recent years, the government has devoted itself to improving the quality of coffee, replacing old trees and planting Arabica beans to increase profits.

Knowledge expansion: Colombia is the third largest producer of coffee in the world, but Colombian coffee is famous for its quality rather than production. Has a unique coffee growing environment ─── low latitude high altitude, rainfall and soil conditions are very suitable for the growth of Arabica beans.
