The topography is relatively flat to slightly wavy, with altitudes varying from 900 to 1250masl. Across 55 municipalities, medium-to-large-sized farms dot the area and can span anywhere between a few hundred acres to massive estates. Brazilian Coffee Varieties Brazil’s most common varieties of Arabica co!ee are Bourbon, Caturra, Catuaí, Mundo Novo, and Acaiá.

Natural Process Unroasted Co!ee Beans It’s always sunny in Cerrado. Brazil maximizes the ample sunlight and leverages the natural process to manage vast quantities of harvested cherries every day. The pre-drying process occurs under the sun for 2 to 7 days (farmers favor full sun-dried co!ee processing whenever possible) and can be finalized in mechanical driers. After 30 days of resting in wooden boxes to homogenize the beans, the co!ee is then prepped for export.
