Brazil

Our Brazil is a light roast, super pleasant, and always a crowd-pleasing coffee. Rich with the aroma of roasted peanuts, it brings smiles to faces all around the Carolinas. Brazilian coffee is generally low in acidity, has bold and distinct nutty and chocolatey notes, and develops bittersweet flavors over the roasting process that keep the cup interesting and lively. That’s why you’ll find Brazilian beans in espresso, blends, and as approachable single origin coffee—it’s truly all-purpose.

The country of Brazil produces more coffee than anywhere else in the world, and it’s not a close race. Because of the elevation and climate, Brazilian beans can’t always match the complexity of Ethiopians, Kenyans, or Guatemalans. But don’t be fooled—a lack of complexity doesn’t mean a lack of flavor. Brazilian beans are reliable crowd-pleasers, approachable, and an easy favorite for any coffee drinker.

History of Brazilian Coffee

Coffee became Brazil’s economic backbone in the 19th century, dramatically transforming the nation. By the 1900s, it comprised more than half of Brazil’s exports, up from virtually none decades earlier. Initially reliant on slave labor in regions like the Paraíba Valley, coffee cultivation eventually shifted into São Paulo’s heartlands as soil was exhausted and rail infrastructure expanded. This transition not only sparked industrial growth and urban development but also helped dismantle entrenched elite structures by fueling immigration and the rise of a modern middle class.

Regions

Brazil’s vast coffee landscape is divided into several distinct regions, each producing beans with unique flavor profiles shaped by climate, altitude, and cultivation methods. Minas Gerais is the country’s largest coffee-producing state and includes well-known subregions like Sul de Minas, Cerrado Mineiro, Chapada de Minas, and Matas de Minas. Coffees from Minas Gerais tend to be balanced and smooth, often showcasing chocolate, nutty, and mild fruity notes with a medium body. Sul de Minas, in particular, is famous for its consistent quality and citrus undertones.

São Paulo’s Mogiana region, with its higher altitudes, produces coffees known for their sweetness, balance, and low acidity, making them popular in many blends. Espírito Santo stands out as Brazil’s primary producer of Robusta (Conilon) beans, which are stronger and earthier, while also growing specialty Arabica in higher elevations. Bahia, a newer coffee-growing region, has rapidly gained recognition for its bright, citrusy, and floral coffees, largely due to advanced irrigation and mechanized harvesting in regions like Planalto da Bahia. Lastly, Paraná produces mild, clean Arabicas suited for a variety of palates.

Together, these regions make Brazil a coffee powerhouse, offering diverse flavors that cater to a broad range of consumers and brewing methods.
