Qianjie-introduction to Columbia Coffee

Brazil is the world's largest exporter of coffee, with 21 states and 17 states producing coffee, but four of them produce the largest, accounting for 90 per cent of the country's total: Parana, Sao Paulo, Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo.

In the southern state of Minas Gerais, the Cerrado region, also known as Serrado, is the oldest coffee producing area in Brazil with the best climatic conditions. Let's take a look at Sheila.

As early as 30 years ago, the region of Hirado was not known to the world; it was once a desolate mountain located quietly in Brazil, so Hirado meant "barbaric" in Portuguese. Syrador is now a famous coffee producer, and its coffee is mechanized on a flat plateau about 1000 meters above sea level. Its unique soil and rich groundwater are essential ecological conditions for the production of high-quality coffee.

The coffee farmers who pioneered the land in the early days combined modern agricultural concepts with Hirado agricultural technology, overcame the harsh natural environment, and transformed this "barbaric land" into a field for producing high-quality coffee, and became a pillar of local economic income.

In Hirado, in addition to the unique soil and climate, there is also a special phenomenon, that is, when you grow coffee near, you will always find one or two farms where livestock are raised. The existence of the farm is the characteristic of the structure of the Sirado agricultural community. The weeds in the coffee fields are a good feed for livestock, and the manure of livestock on the farm is the high-quality organic fertilizer for coffee trees. The whole ecological environment is balanced, so there are often traces of small animals and earthworms on the ground, and the farms and ranches near the coffee growing areas are one of the typical landscapes of the Hirado coffee producing area.

Therefore, at present, Brazilian Syrador coffee is synonymous with high-quality coffee. In 2005, the high-quality Arabica coffee harvested in Sirado was officially certified as "Sheila Coffee" by the Pakistani government according to international standards and claimed to be recognized. If you want to use the title of Syrador in the region, you must pass the certification test and production quality. The evaluation of raw beans should include certification of producing areas, elevation of production areas, identification of varieties, best soil, and best agricultural technology to meet these conditions, and in terms of quality, beans score more than 75 points through the evaluation method of SCAA before they can be called Syrador.

Knowledge: Brazilian coffee has neither outstanding advantages nor obvious shortcomings. it has a mild taste, low acidity, moderate mellowness, light sweetness and chocolate flavor.
