Introduction of origin

Central and South America is currently the largest coffee producing area in the world. Among them, Brazilian coffee accounts for 30% of the total global coffee production. It is not only the largest coffee production country in Central and South America, but also the largest coffee production country in the world. Brazil itself is the second consumer of coffee in the world, after the United States. Brazilian coffee was introduced into Brazil in the 1720s by Francesco Paletta, a Portuguese captain from French Gaiana. Since then, coffee has been grown rapidly in Brazil to where it is today.

Brazilian coffee is widely grown in flat areas, and after decades of cultivation, Arabica coffee trees that do not need high altitude and shade have been improved. The unsheltered coffee makes the coffee fruit grow faster, the flavor development is not complete, and the hardness of beans is not as good as plateau beans, the acidity of the fruit is obviously low, the flavor is monotonous, and the coastal Rio coffee even has iodine and salty taste. In addition, the status of Brazilian coffee was low due to overproduction and uneven quality caused by massive cultivation before 1990. Until the establishment of the Brazilian Coffee Association in 1991, after advocating half-sun treatment to improve the quality, we planted extremely hard beans comparable to high altitude, and with the assistance of the American Fine Coffee Association, held the first Brazilian Coffee Competition (Cup of Excellence) in 1999. Over the years, under the evaluation of international cup testers, the flavor has gradually reached its peak and is known as the coffee kingdom. Although Brazilian coffee is not as bold and enthusiastic as Brazilians, it is gentle and supple, mellow and moderate, sour and bitter balanced, and its refreshing and harmonious flavor can be said to be an alternative enthusiasm of coffee.
