Although Brazil is one of the countries with the most abundant fresh water resources in the world, its water resources are unevenly distributed and many regions depend on natural draft. Especially in the eastern part of coffee cultivation, severe drought often occurs, scarce water resources limit the way coffee is processed, Brazil in 1990 before the use of rough sun method, quality difference is very large, because bird droppings coffee fruit in the process of exposure for two to three weeks, rain moisture or fruit cracking, will mold, odor. This also makes Brazilian beans synonymous with medium to low quality. As the world's largest coffee producer, how can we be willing to get such a reputation? In order to improve the quality and reverse the image, Brazil carried out a quality revolution in the 1990s and vigorously promoted the unique semi-sun method in the world.

Brazil's research unit developed a semi-solarization method to shorten the treatment time based on the monotonous nature of Brazil's climate. After removing the pulp, the pods covered with pectin layer are exposed to the sun for one to three days, and then dried by machine to a moisture content of 12%, which can be put into storage containers. Brazil's semi-sun method significantly reduces the processing time (traditional sun method takes two to three weeks), also reduces the chance of coffee beans to get peculiar smell, and the quality is greatly improved. Moreover, the semi-sun method also inherits the advantages of the sun method to improve sweetness, but it lacks the earthy taste of non-flattery, and enhances the fruity and sweet feeling, which is most suitable for single products. Therefore, the semi-sun method has become a necessary "outfit" for Brazilian fine beans, winning praise from international coffee experts.

The reform has worked, increasing the confidence of coffee farm operators, Brazil's coffee farms will, depending on the climate humidity conditions, choose the sun, semi-sun, water, semi-water or honey treatment, which has been popular in the fine coffee world in recent years, to present the best regional flavor. For example, the ultra-low humidity Minas Cerrado in the Midwest is still dominated by solarization. The manor here believes that the solarization method only needs strict control, which can best highlight the nutty taste and sweetness unique to Serrado. The semi-solarization method has become a supporting role in Serrado. The South Minas estate is the most inclusive, using semi-sun, sun and water respectively. Brazil has such a variety of treatment methods that it is rare in the world except Ethiopia, the home of coffee.
