Flavor description of South Minas Coffee Bean in Brazil

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Since the opening of the free market in 1990, the original Brazilian Coffee Authority (IBC) has been replaced by the National Economic Association, the country's non-investment administrative body, which pursues a policy of non-intervention and allows producers to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

Since 1999, South Minas is the most successful manor in Brazil's "extraordinary cup" national treasure bean bidding activity, which is the backbone of Brazilian boutique coffee. As for the north-central mausoleum of Minas (Chapada de Minas) is not a boutique producing area, mostly for general commercial beans. To sum up, South Minas, the central and western Mesa of Minas (i.e. Serrado) and the higher forest areas in the southeast can all be called boutique producing areas of Minas province.

In addition, Mogiana in the northeast of Sao Paulo Province (north to South Minas) is also dominated by shaded bourbon, which is ranked as the three major boutique producing areas in Brazil along with Serrado and South Minas. Well-known estates in South Minas include Hope Manor and Montague. The famous "Datra Manor" and "Highland Manor" groups also have several large estates in Serrado and Mojiana. The four-cup tournament's ever-winning manor has become the treasure of the town shops of South Minas, Serrado and Mojiana. Brazil is flat, with coffee farms mostly about 600-1000 meters above sea level, suitable for growing shade-free Kaddura, New World and Kaduai, also known as Sm CofFee. This is the main reason for the lack of aroma of Brazilian coffee (but when the altitude is more than 1100 meters, the taste of exposed coffee will improve, comparable to bourbon. See Chapter 4 of this book). Fortunately, 90% of Minas province is more than 300 meters, and 25% is between 600 and 1500 meters, which is the highest province in Brazil on average. In particular, the Serrado platform and South Minas in the central and western part of Minas are mostly above 1100 meters above sea level, with undulating foothills, rich landforms, obvious dry and wet seasons, large temperature differences between day and night, and rich micro-climate, which are suitable for cultivating elegant bourbon and yellow bourbon. It has naturally become the main producing area of Brazilian boutique coffee. In addition, farms in the Minas Southeast Mountain Forest region (Mata de Minas) with an elevation of more than 1000 meters can also produce high-quality coffee.
