Brazil is vividly compared to the "giant" and "monarch" of the coffee world. There are about 3.97 billion coffee trees there, and small farmers now grow 75% of Brazil's total coffee production. The number of coffee producers in Brazil is twice or even three times that of Colombia, the second largest coffee producer in the world.

Unlike in the past, Brazil's economy is now less dependent on coffee, which accounts for only 8% to 10% of GDP. Before World War II, Brazil accounted for 50% or more of the world's coffee production, and now it is close to 30%. But the country's impact on the world's coffee, especially on coffee prices, is significant. For example, two frost disasters in 1994 caused a sharp rise in global coffee prices.

Since the introduction of coffee trees from French Guiana (Guyana) in 1720, coffee production has gradually become a science. Before 1990, the Brazilian government carried out strict monitoring of the coffee industry, with both strict intervention and price protection measures, and the state has been implementing minimum price protection measures for farmers, resulting in coffee overproduction. Before World War II, the surplus stock reached 78 million bags, which had to be burned by fire or thrown into the water to destroy.

At present, there are 2 million hectares of land in Brazil for growing coffee, and the largest is Arabica. These beans will eventually be sent to large bakers in various countries, that is, the well-known Santos (named after the port of export santos, not the producing area). Because of the coffee competition after 2000, the quality of coffee beans produced in the high-altitude areas of the south was appreciated, mainly by the farms around the Minas platform. Coffee quality is also the largest among Brazilian beans, such as Syracuse in the west of Minas and Matas in the east, Bashiya in the north or small farms in the south. Minas has almost become synonymous with Brazilian boutique coffee. In recent years, the coffee competition is accurate to be separated by treatment (water treatment / half water washing / half sun / sun exposure), developing a variety of flavors, mouthfeel and aftertaste.

Flavor features: balanced sweet, creamy smooth, orange, apricot and other fruit flavor, chocolate, caramel flavor coffee was first introduced to Brazil in the early 18th century. In 1727, the Brazilian government sent a personable army officer to secretly bring coffee seeds from French Gaiana to Brazil on the grounds of mediating border disputes. it is said that the governor's wife of French Gaiana was fascinated by this officer at that time. So he secretly brought coffee tree seeds to him at the farewell dinner. At present, 2 million hectares of land in Brazil is used to grow coffee, with a maximum of more than 70% being Arabica. These beans will eventually be sent to large roasters in various countries, that is, Santos (in the name of the port of export santos, not the producing area). Facts have proved that Brazil is also capable of producing gourmet coffee and small batches of coffee. The local boutique coffee can not only be provided by small-scale coffee farmers. The main coffee producing areas in Brazil are Sulde Minas South Minas, Matas de Minas Minas Southeast Mountain Forest, Cerrado Hilado, Chapadas de Minas Minas Mausoleum, Mogiana Mojiana, Paran á Parana and Bahia Bachia. There are both traditional varieties and variants, such as Bourbon, Mondo Novo Mondonovo, Icat ú Ikatu, Kaduai, Iapar, cultivatedcard Taiyi.
