Introduction to the Grinding scale for the description of Taste and Flavor of Brazilian Coffee

Brazil makes full use of the tropical geographical environment and attaches importance to the production and sale of coffee, so that the output, export volume and per capita consumption of coffee have been ranked first in the world for many years, and have been known as the "kingdom of coffee". Coffee was introduced into Brazil after the 18th century. In 1727, coffee was introduced into Port Belem, Brazil from Guyana. Since then, it has settled in Antuku, Brazil, mainly in the southeast coastal areas of Brazil. Namely, Sao Paulo, Parana, San Esprito, Minas Gerais and other four states. From the end of the 18th century to the 1920s, during the heyday of Brazilian coffee production, Brazil accounted for 75% of the world's total coffee production. Over a long period of time, coffee accounted for 2% of Brazil's total export revenue, thus making Brazil a well-deserved "coffee kingdom".

The great economic crisis that broke out in 1929 sharply reduced the world consumption of coffee, which dealt a heavy blow to the Brazilian coffee plantation economy. Since then, the proportion of Brazilian coffee production in export earnings has plummeted. In the past 30 years, with the rise and development of Brazilian modern industry, especially steel, shipbuilding, automobile, aircraft manufacturing and other industries, the status of coffee in the national economy has declined year by year, but it is still one of the pillars of Brazil's economy. Brazil is still the world's largest coffee producer and exporter. Coffee trees are usually bred in nurseries, grow into seedlings, and then moved to coffee plantations a year later, in full compliance with the original Arab method of planting and cultivating coffee trees. In the first four or five years of its growth, the coffee tree will continue to take root downward, develop its trunk upward, and develop into an umbrella shape so that it can bear rich fruit in the future.

Before long, small fruits appear in piles, first green, then yellow, then red or crimson, and can be picked almost black. In Jamaica, bats are the first to know whether the fruit is ripe or not. by sucking coffee pulp at night, they are telling people that the fruit is ripe and ready to be picked. The oval fruit gathers tightly around the branches, with slender, smooth dark green toothed leaves on both sides of the branches. The leaves on the sunny side are harder, the back is softer, the edges are fan-shaped, and the branches are opposite from the trunk.

The coffee tree has delicate white flowers that smell like oranges and jasmine. Sometimes it is just a tree blooming alone, like a young bride, sometimes the whole coffee garden is in full bloom, it looks like a sea of white flowers, beautiful and intoxicating. But the florescence is fleeting. Within two or three days, the petals dispersed with the wind, leaving only the remaining fragrance spinning in the air.
