About This Coffee
The Region
South Minas is the largest coffee growing region in Brazil and the world, home to some of the best coffees in Brazil. The region is characterized by mountainous terrain, rich fertile soil and vast natural reserves of Brazil’s Atlantic Rainforest. The favorable climate and relief, together with handmade coffee production, are the secrets of the award winning region. The factors for success are a dedication at all stages of production, solid infrastructure and investment research.
The Mogiana region, which runs along the São Paulo and Minas Gerais border, is home to some of the most consistently sweet and well-structured naturals produced in Brazil. The region boasts 3500 farmers cultivating a combined area of 202,000ha. We hand select lots from individual farms and process them to create a smooth, clean, highly consistent end product. Our goal with this coffee is to have a consistent profile from lot to lot, and year to year, making our Eagle Mogiana a coffee that you can rely on year around.
History of Coffee in Brazil
American colonists had been drinking coffee for fifty years before the first coffee seed was planted in Brazil in 1727. A hundred years later, Brazil accounted for 30% of the world's coffee supply. A hundred years after that, in the 1920's, Brazil held a virtual monopoly, producing 80% of the world's coffee. Although Brazil's market share peaked at 80% in the 1920's, its continuing status as the world's largest coffee producer still gives the country considerable influence on the market and coffee prices. It is said that when Brazil sneezes, the coffee world catches cold. In 1975, a black fros destroyed over 70 percent of the crop in Brazil and coffee prices doubled world-wide. Brazil was a founding member of the Pan-American Coffee Bureau, which invented the concept of a "coffee break" during an advertising campaign in the early 1950's
