Introduction to the characteristics of varieties produced by the method of grinding scale flavor description of Brazilian coffee beans

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).

Brazil is vividly compared to the "giant" and "monarch" of the coffee world. There are about 3.97 billion coffee trees there, and small farmers now grow 75% of Brazil's total coffee production. The number of coffee producers in Brazil is twice or even three times that of Colombia, the second largest coffee producer in the world.

Other kinds of Brazilian coffee, such as Rio and Parana, can be produced in large quantities because they do not require too much care. Although the taste is rough, it is a kind of high-quality and inexpensive coffee, which has its own standards because it is distributed all over Brazil and varies in quality (NO.2~NO.8 according to the number of sundries, NO.13~NO.19 according to the size of beans, and six grades according to taste). Almost all Arabica varieties are of good quality and stable in price. The most famous one is "Brazil Santos", which has been a necessity of blended coffee and is familiar to the public since ancient times. Recently, the rating of "Guilma Cup" is also very high.

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 big, flat in shape, no longer bent, and became "flat bean Santos".
