In my last post, I spoke about the intrigue I have for Brazilian coffee, fueled by the story of how Coffee made its way to Brazil from France, thanks to good looks of the emissary LOL. But seriously one of the things I want to pass across in every of my Blog post about coffee is the fact that something about you is unique enough to help you succeed in your endeavor.
My coffee story is that of encouragement, energy, thoughts and plans. No matter what you decide to do in life, you will always need the various words I just mentioned above. You will need to think, plan, and execute, you will also need the energy to execute all these. In times when it seems like it may have not gone as planned, you will need encouragement and you will also need a coffee boost to give you that energy you will need to start again.
when you need that friend who has a cup of coffee in hand with words that will encourage you to try again, then know that I am here for you.
This is not to not digress from my post, about Brazilian Coffees, but to give you an insight about what my product line Coffeesantea represents.
History of Brazilian Coffee
About a third of the world coffee is produced and exported by Brazil, they hold about 60% of the worlds market of coffee. Their coffee is mainly the Arabica beans which makes about 80% of world coffee beans type.
Brazilian coffees are cultivated at low heights of about 900- 1200 meters not much when you compare it to heights of 5000 meters as found in some countries. The most popular and best of Brazil coffee is the Santos beans, Santos is named after a popular port where the beans is exported from.
Brazilian coffee beans have low acidity due to low the elevations where it is planted, it has light to medium body with a chocolatey nutty after taste. They are predominantly used for making espresso blends because of its propensity to take to dark roasts without turning bitter.

Coffee culture in Brazil
Coffee is a significant part of the Brazilian culture because it has come to become a significant income earner for the people of Brazil. For up to 150 years, they have dominated the market scene with coffee trade, proceeds from which they have funded other development of their nation.
Cafezinho is a word popular with the Brazilian people, its almost like a welcome slang in their country, it represents being served with a small cup of coffee. Brazilians drink coffee from sun up to sun down, their coffee is mainly drunk in small quantities and is easily offered free with every meal. Most of their coffee is sweet.
