Coffee production in Brazil

Brazil grows more coffee than any other country and sits behind countless blends and espressos. The classic Brazilian cup is chocolate, malt and nuts with a creamy texture and tame fruit, which makes it an easy daily coffee and a natural partner for milk. Brazil is known for naturals and pulped naturals, dried with some or all of the fruit still on the bean, and that is where much of the sweetness comes from. Minas Gerais, including Cerrado Mineiro and Sul de Minas, is the name to look for; Sul de Minas coffees are often more citrusy and fruity than the national style. If you want a bright, tangy cup, Brazil is the wrong origin.
