The second largest coffee producing area in Brazil-Esp í rito Santo | status of Esp í rito Santo in Brazil

Although coffee was introduced to Brazil in the northern state of Para, most of Brazil's coffee production is currently in southeastern Brazil, mainly in Minas Gerais and Esp í rito Santo. Sao Paulo and Parana (click here to see Brazilian coffee) produce by state and region)

Esp í rito Santo is a smaller area than other Brazilian coffee producing areas, but it is the second largest in the country in terms of annual output. However, nearly 80% of coffee trees belong to Robusta. In the south of the area, farmers tend to produce Arabica, which has the potential to produce more interesting coffee.

For most of Brazil's history, at least externally, the definition of Brazilian coffee was mainly determined by its shipping port. Usually, high-quality coffee from St. Minas, Sao Paulo and Mojana is transported through Santos. Most of the coffee from Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais is transported through Rio de Minas. Considering the dry and humid conditions in these areas, coffee is often contaminated with phenolic defects, which in fact are called "rio" defects. The three levels of this defect are "riado (roughly translated as mild rio or rioy)", "rio" and "rio zona", which are named after coffee from Zona da Mata, which usually contains very strong rio defects.

However, relatively recent regions and micro-regions have begun to distinguish their regions by IG (Indica regions ã o Geogr á fica). Regi'ao do Cerrado Mineiro is the first Brazilian coffee region to obtain an appellation of origin, and other regions and Mantiqueira de Minas regions have also successfully completed this process, as well as several other processes.
