Brazilian Coffee
Brazil is the world’s leading producer and exporter of coffee, contributing around a third of the world’s coffee grown on its Fazendas. With its classic rich chocolatey and nutty notes, Brazilian coffee offers broad appeal that's a popular choice for espresso drinkers.

While there’s still great variety within such a large country of varying climate and ecology, in general Brazilian coffee leans chocolatey and rich, often with nutty notes and relatively low acidity. These flavours have massive appeal and with speciality roasting can become coffees full of complexity.
Brazilian coffee production is by far the most industrialised and advanced, and its harvest often dictates the entire global coffee market by its sheer volume.
The large state of Minas Gerais accounts for 50% of coffee grown in Brazil and the vast majority of the country's specialty coffee production. There are smaller hotspots of coffee growing in the states of Bahia, Espírito Santo and São Paulo which benefit from the the Atlantic Forest ecoregion microclimate that covers Brazil's South Eastern corridor.
