History of Brazil
"The world's coffee engine"
Coffee arrived in Brazil in 1727, and the country quickly became the world's largest producer. The industry has transformed from massive plantations to include many specialty-focused farms using sustainable practices and innovative processing.

Brazil produces nearly 40% of the world's coffee, but quantity doesn't mean lack of quality. Brazilian specialty coffees offer rich, nutty sweetness with low acidity, making them perfect espresso bases and approachable filter coffees.
Brazilian coffees are prized for their sweetness, heavy body, and low acidity. Natural processing is common, adding dried fruit notes to the chocolate-nut baseline. These coffees form the backbone of many espresso blends worldwide.
