BRAZIL, THE LEADING COFFEE PRODUCER Brazilian coffee has a well-deserved and internationally recognized reputation. It is the leading coffee producer by far, with almost 70,000 60 kg bags per year. In such production, we find coffees of both low and extremely high quality. Large plantations or micro-plantations that take care of every detail. Eira Rua is one of those microlots pampered down to the last detail in the search for a coffee with excellent organoleptic qualities. Specifically, it comes from the coffee-producing region of Campo Das Vertentes. A region of traditional coffee production, more related to family plantations than large coffee farms. A region where coffee is deeply ingrained in popular culture, from work to celebrations, and it has ideal topographical and environmental conditions, according to Perfect Daily Grind. HONEY PROCESS The coffee process is the method by which the drupe is pulped to extract the two coffee beans inside the berry. The most common processes are wet and dry. However, there are more special processes like Honey. In summary, the beans are pulped and the mucilage is left on them to dry in the sun for several days, moving them every 8 or 10 hours. This allows the coffee to absorb the acidic and sweet flavors of the mucilage. CATUAI AMARILLO AND TOPAZIO COFFEE VARIETY In the world of coffee, there are different plant varieties, fruits, and therefore beans (or seeds). Catuai, which can be yellow, orange, or red, a descendant of Bourbon, is a coffee with superior performance that thrives in Brazil. A cross between the high-yielding Mundo Novo and the compact Caturra, created by the Agronomic Institute of Sao Paulo in Campinas, Brazil (IAC). The Topazio variety is more special and unique, produced for specialty coffee, harder to find. Highly localized in Brazil, it is a cross between Mundo Novo and Red Catuai. The berry, as a result, has an intense yellow color, from which it takes its name. SPECIALTY COFFEE, A SYNONYM FOR QUALITY Only the best coffees can be called specialty coffees.
