Introduction to the characteristics of varieties produced by taste treatment of Brazilian Minas Coffee

Based on the drier climate in Brazil, research units in Brazil have developed a half-sun method to shorten the treatment time. After removing the pulp, the coffee fruit will be exposed to the pectin-coated pods for one to three days, and then machine-dried to a moisture content of 12%, which can be put into a storage container. The Brazilian half-sun method greatly shortens the work time (the traditional sun method takes two to three weeks), also reduces the chance of coffee beans getting a bad smell, and the quality is greatly improved. Moreover, the half-sun method also inherits the advantages of the sun method to improve the sweetness, but reduces the thankless soil flavor, and enhances the fruit aroma and sweetness, so it is most suitable for a single product, so the half-day method has become a necessary "wardrobe" for Brazilian boutique beans and won praise from international coffee experts. The success of the reform has increased the confidence of coffee farm operators. Coffee farms in Brazil will choose solarization, half-sun, washing, half-washing or honey treatment, which is very popular in the boutique coffee industry in recent years, according to the dry and humid conditions of the climate. To show the best regional flavor

There are many kinds of Brazilian coffee, it is difficult to say that it has any special flavor, no outstanding advantages, no obvious disadvantages, most of them are medium acid, taste lubrication, mainly mild and smooth, mellow and sweet, its softness makes it mixed with other coffee beans, the taste will not change much; and the oil is more rich. So Brazilian coffee beans are best mixed with other coffee beans to make espresso, which promotes the formation of golden foam on the surface of espresso and gives the coffee a slightly sour taste and a long finish. In fact, all the big coffee roasters have some coffee from Brazil in their blends.

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 rich chocolate flavor reduces the farm coffee without machine harvest, and the fully ripe coffee beans are picked by hand, with citrus and fruit tea aromas. the wet aroma is with the fragrance of black tea, showing the elegant aroma of jasmine and herbal tea, while the aftertaste is full of oolong tea. It tastes very fresh and gentle, which is a rare surprise among Brazilian beans.
