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 strong chocolate flavor reduces the farm coffee without the use of a machine, and the fully ripe coffee beans are picked by hand, with citrus and fruit tea aromas, and wet aromas with black tea aromas.

Named after the exit of the port of Santos. 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
