Brazil

Brazil has been the world's largest coffee producer for over 150 years, growing roughly a third of the global crop. Most of it is Arabica grown at relatively low to moderate altitudes on large, mechanised farms, though smallholders and cooperatives remain important. The classic Brazilian cup leans sweet, low-acid, and full-bodied, with chocolate and nut notes, a signature shaped by sun-drying whole cherries (natural) and pulped-natural (honey) processing. Brazil is also a major Robusta (Conilon) producer, mostly in Espírito Santo.
