Brazil grows more coffee than anywhere else, and most of it isn’t specialty. But the top end of the market is serious business: Cerrado, Sul de Minas, and Mogiana in the southeast produce the kind of natural-process lots that end up in espresso blends across Europe and on single-origin filter menus when a roaster finds one they love.

The classic Brazilian cup leans toward chocolate, nuts, and caramel sweetness — rounder body than East African coffees, less punchy acidity. That profile is why Brazilian beans anchor most espresso blends. Yellow Bourbon, Catuaí, and Mundo Novo are the varieties you’ll see most often, with naturals dominating though pulped-naturals and honeys are more common than they used to be.

If you’ve dismissed Brazil as a blend filler, find a good natural Sul de Minas from a specialty roaster. It will surprise you.

Brazilië verbouwt meer koffie dan welk land dan ook, en het meeste daarvan is geen specialty. Maar de top van de markt is serieus werk: Cerrado, Sul de Minas en Mogiana in het zuidoosten leveren de natural-process lots die belanden in espressomelanges door heel Europa en op single-origin filtermenu’s wanneer een brander er een vindt waar hij van houdt.

De klassieke Braziliaanse kop neigt naar chocolade, noten en karamelzoetheid — voller van lichaam dan Oost-Afrikaanse koffies, met minder felle zuren. Dat profiel is de reden dat Braziliaanse bonen het anker vormen onder de meeste espressomelanges. Yellow Bourbon, Catuaí en Mundo Novo zijn de variëteiten die je het vaakst tegenkomt; naturals domineren, al worden pulped-naturals en honeys gangbaarder dan vroeger.

Als je Brazilië hebt afgeschreven als blendvulling: zoek een goede natural Sul de Minas van een specialty-brander. Hij zal je verbazen.

Brasilien baut mehr Kaffee an als irgendwer sonst, und das meiste davon ist kein Specialty. Aber das obere Ende des Marktes ist ernste Sache: Cerrado, Sul de Minas und Mogiana im Südosten liefern die Natural-Lots, die in Espressomischungen quer durch Europa und auf Single-Origin-Filterkarten landen, sobald eine Rösterei einen findet, den sie liebt.

Die klassische brasilianische Tasse geht in Richtung Schokolade, Nüsse und Karamell — vollerer Körper als ostafrikanische Kaffees, weniger spitze Säure. Dieses Profil ist der Grund, warum brasilianische Bohnen die meisten Espressomischungen tragen. Yellow Bourbon, Catuaí und Mundo Novo sind die Sorten, die dir am häufigsten begegnen; Naturals dominieren, auch wenn Pulped Naturals und Honeys verbreiteter sind als früher.

Wenn du Brasilien als Blend-Füller abgeschrieben hast: such einen guten natural Sul de Minas von einer Specialty-Rösterei. Er wird dich überraschen.
