Brazil, known as the coffee pot of the world, is the largest coffee producing nation, growing approximately one-third of the world’s coffee. Brazil also grows 80% of the world’s Arabica beans. The home of the largest coffee estates and the most cooperatives in Brazil, the region of Sul de Minas, produces the top cupping Brazilian coffee. Gentle rainfall on the region’s rolling hills combines with a mild climate to produce the best coffee beans. More than half of these farms are small to medium sized (10-150 hectares) and may have been farming coffee for generations.
CUPPING NOTES: Mild Acidity, Medium Body, Chocolate, Lemongrass, Roasted Almonds, Clean and Sweet.
