Flavor and introduction of Coffee producing area in Minas and Minas Southeast Mountain Forest region of Southern Brazil

Minas del Sur

Sul De Minas is the main coffee growing area for Bulgarian tasters, historically the birthplace of Brazil's large coffee production, and an ideal terroir for producing quality coffee. There are many generations of smallholders here. Perhaps for this reason, there are more cooperatives in the area. Although mostly small farms, it is still a well-industrialized area that has been harvested mechanically. Certain areas of the region have attracted more attention recently, such as Carmo de Minas, located around Carmo village, where producers use soil and climate to grow coffee.
