Introduction of Brazilian Coffee Flavor description, Grinding scale treatment and Regional varieties

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). 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 remaining stock reached 78 million bags, which had to be burned by fire or thrown into the water to destroy.

Since the opening of the free market in 1990, the original Brazilian Coffee Authority (IBC) has been replaced by the National Economic Association, the country's non-investment administrative body, which pursues a policy of non-intervention and allows producers to negotiate directly with exporters. The business activities of exporters are supervised by government legislation, and legitimate exporters are registered by the relevant departments.

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
