Introduction to the varieties of Minas Coffee beans in Brazil

Fazenda Rainha (Queen Farm) is located in the Alta Mogiana area of S ã o Paulo, north of the city of Sao Paulo. This manor is well-known in Brazil and is owned by the Carvalho Dias family. Since the first Brazilian COE competition in 1999, Carvalho Dias has won awards every year, winning more than 12 times in the past seven years, and even arranged for the champion, 9th, 11th, and so on in 2004. Many manors of various sizes in Brazil have been hoping to be shortlisted for many years, but it is difficult to get them. And Queen's Manor (Fazenda Rainha) enjoys a brilliant record: 2000 runner-up, 2001 second runner-up, 2005 29th place, so far, Queen's Manor has won three awards. Yellow bourbon beans are sweet, dry and sunbathing (or half-sun) to make them slightly sour, but combine well with sweetness and have tropical fruit aromas. The Carvalho Dias family is the founding member of the Brazilian Fine Coffee Association. The persistence of coffee quality and the maintenance of the environment are obvious to all. In the family farm, the use of natural waterfalls to develop pollution-free hydropower, self-sufficient electricity demand (another award-winning member of the family is named Waterfall Manor after this waterfall) Construction of churches, classrooms, nurseries, medical stations, maintenance of primitive forests of native animals and plants, and continuous afforestation.

In the case of the Queen's Manor, the environmental protection is quite thorough. Because of the high terrain and non-plain terrain, it is impossible to harvest by machine and harvest the fruit completely by hand. And plant low-yield and high-quality bourbon species, as the essence of high-quality Brazilian coffee on behalf of the manor! This batch of Queen's Manor (Fazenda Rainha) belongs to the Carvalho Dias family and has been around for more than 116 years.

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-washing / half-sun / sun-drying), which has developed a variety of flavors, taste and finish, which is quite different from traditional Brazilian coffee. In particular, the half-sun method and the sun method perform best, the aroma of clean and low-acid fruit increases, so that the strong chocolate flavor reduces the farm coffee without machine harvest, and the fully ripe coffee beans are picked by hand, with aromas of citrus and fruit tea. the wet aroma has the delicate aroma of black tea, showing the elegant aroma of jasmine and herbal tea, and the finish is full of oolong tea.
