Cerrado Mineiro

Coffee from the Cerrado Mineiro is characterized by being a fine drink, with a strong body and excellent aroma and sweetness. The local climate is favorable for growing high quality coffee, as it has well-defined seasons: hot, rainy summers followed by dry, cold winters. The bloom is concentrated, the ripening is uniform and is accompanied by plenty of luminosity, helping to fix aroma and sweetness.

The state of Minas Gerais is world-renowned for its coffee. It was the first to be recognized as a Denomination of Origin in Brazil, proving the link between the product and the territory in which it was produced. Covering some 55 municipalities, 4.5 thousand producers, and 200 thousand hectares of cultivated area, its production totals more than 7 million bags a year.
