Brazil's coffee plantations

Brazil’s coffee plantations are expansive farms that produce a significant portion of the world's coffee. Located primarily in states like Minas Gerais, São Paulo, and Espírito Santo, these plantations use modern techniques to cultivate high-quality beans. The climate—warm temperatures and abundant rainfall—helps coffee plants thrive. Farmers manage the plants carefully, harvesting ripe cherries by hand or machine. After harvesting, beans are processed and roasted to develop flavor. Brazil’s diverse geography and skilled labor contribute to efficient production, enabling the country to be a leading global coffee exporter and shaping the taste profile enjoyed worldwide.
