Brazil – Peaberry

Brazil is the largest producer of coffee in the world. With such diversity, its range of coffee that it produces is vast – from small holder farms to vast estates. Soils, regional climate and temperatures make great growing conditions. However, Brazil lacks altitude – a factor considered crucial for creating the very best flavours expected form Arabica coffee and much of the coffee is grown at or below 1000 m above sea level. Much lower than the typical 1400 – 1800 m that can be found in many other coffee producing nations. A large producer of certified coffees, Brazil has worked hard in recent years to promote itself as a sustainable producer, and global attention has forced various legislature through to enforce the protection of indigenous habitats and forestry. Many estates have taken this further and included substantial conservation areas on their estates.

Sugar coated nutty overtones with subtle acidity, moderate body and long after taste

Typical flavouring from Brazil on the commercial grades invokes nuts, caramel and creamy body.
