Brazil is located in southeastern South America, spanning 35 to 74 degrees west longitude and 5 degrees north to 35 degrees south latitude. It is bordered by the South Atlantic Ocean to the east and any country in South America to the north, west and south (except Chile). It is bordered by French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, Venezuela and Colombia to the north, Peru and Bolivia to the west, and Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay to the south. The coastline is about 7400 kilometers long. The width of the territorial sea is 12 nautical miles, and the 188 nautical miles of the overseas exclusive economic zone has proven iron ore reserves of 33.3 billion tons, accounting for 9.8% of the world's total reserves, ranking fifth in the world; the output is 355 million tons, ranking second in the world; and the export volume is also among the highest in the world. Brazil is rich in 29 kinds of minerals, with nickel reserves of 6 million tons, accounting for 4.0% of the world's nickel reserves, mainly distributed in Goas and Minas Gerais. Manganese, bauxite, lead, tin and other metals account for more than 10% of the world's total reserves. The niobium ore reserves have been proved to be 4.559 million tons, which can be used globally for 800 years according to the current consumption. In addition, there are abundant chromium ore, gold ore and asbestos ore. The proved reserves of the coal mine are 10.1 billion tons, but the grade is very low. Since 2007, Brazil has successively discovered large oil and gas fields along the southeast coast, and its oil reserves are expected to exceed 50 billion barrels, making it one of the top ten oil countries in the world. The forest coverage rate reached 57%. The wood reserve is 65.8 billion cubic meters. It is rich in hydraulic resources, with 18% of the world's fresh water, 29000 cubic meters of fresh water per capita, and water conservancy reserves of 143 million kilowatts per year.

There are many large farms in Brazil, which run endless coffee plantations. They use machines to harvest and dry them. They are so efficient in automation that they regard coffee as a general agricultural material and completely abandon the flavor and flavor. As a result, many select coffee companies simply do not sell Brazilian beans so as not to demean themselves. In select coffee shops, there are still occasional Brazilian "santos" coffee, but they are all "Bourbon Santos" (bourban santos) rather than low-priced "Ping Dou Santos". Santos is a descendant of the bourbon species, hence the name for the port of Santos export. In the first three or four years before the coffee tree began to bear fruit, the beans were small and curved, with excellent flavor, and became the "Bourbon Santos". After that, the beans became bigger, flat in shape, no longer bent, and became "flat bean Santos". The flavor was not as good as before. Brazilian coffee can be found everywhere in Taiwan, but most of them are flat bean Santos. In fact, there are still high-quality coffee beans in various parts of Brazil, which will be sold on the market under their own name and are no longer commonly known as "Brazilian coffee." Some farms still retain the old bourbon species, with small particles of raw beans, obvious bending, red silk on the central line and the nickname "red center". Bourbon beans taste full, strong aroma, like drinking old wine, it is well worth a try. Although the coffee is diverse, Brazilian coffee is suitable for the taste of the public. For example, coffee produced in the northern coastal areas has a typical iodine taste, reminiscent of the sea after drinking. This coffee is exported to North America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Another kind of coffee that is interesting and worth looking for is washed Bahia. This kind of coffee is not easy to find because Brazil is the world's largest consumer of coffee after the United States, and many of the best coffee can only be found in its domestic market.

In Brazil, the largest producer is Robbins. This kind of coffee is sold in the supermarket. Brazil's Robucht coffee, sold under the name Conillon, accounts for 15 per cent of total production.

Old bourbon coffee is grown on some estates in the Serrado district of MinasGreais in southeastern Brazil. These estates, such as Caping Blanco (CapinBranco) and Vista Allegre (VistaAllegre), grow old varieties of bourbon coffee on the market. Although they come from the same area, these coffees have their own characteristics. Capingblanco coffee is smoother than Vesta Allegre coffee, while Vesta Allegre coffee is strong and black, both of which have lower acidity. However, like all Brazilian coffee, they are most suitable for drinking when they are fresh and tender, because the older they are, the more acidic they are. These coffee growers have organized themselves into the Brazilian Special Coffee Association (the Speciality Coffee Association of Brazil).
