COUNTRY: Brazil For over 150 years, Brazil has been the world’s top coffee producer, which currently accounts for approximately a third of all coffee produced. Most plantations are located in the southeastern states, where the climate is ideal for growing coffee. While most countries process beans using the wet process, almost all coffee in Brazil uses a dry process.
REGION: Mogiana, Minas Gerais Mogiana is located in the Brazilian highlands, and has been producing coffee since the late 1700’s. With rolling hills and uneven terrain, the area is primarily small farms. The personal care of these farmers, has resulted in Mogiana being synonymous with high quality coffee that is rich bodied and creamy but not super heavy or syrupy, and a moderate to low acidity.
