Best Brazilian Coffee

Brazil produces nearly half the world's coffee, but its best lots rarely taste like the commodity-grade beans that dominate supermarket shelves. The country's diverse microclimates and processing methods—especially pulped naturals and dry-processed naturals—yield cups ranging from chocolate-forward and nutty to surprisingly fruity and complex. Understanding regional differences and processing styles is key to finding exceptional Brazilian coffee.

What to know

  • Cerrado coffees tend toward clean sweetness with nutty, caramel notes and lower acidity.
  • Pulped natural processing creates a middle ground: fruity sweetness with more body than washed coffees.
  • Sul de Minas produces some of Brazil's most complex lots, especially at higher elevations.
  • Natural processed Brazilians offer heavy body and berry-forward flavors when done well.
  • Look for single-farm or micro-lot designations rather than generic regional blends.
