Introduction to the method of flavor description and taste treatment of coffee beans grown in Brazil

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. 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".

Although 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 coffee. 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 Minas Greais state in southeastern Brazil. Old varieties of bourbon coffee grown on these estates, such as Capin Branco and Vista Allegre, are also sold 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).
