Brazil Cerrado

This is the Cerrado Mineiro region of Minas Gerais, an area best described as a high-altitude savannah and best known as the carrot capital of Brazil. In addition to producing nearly half of the country's carrots, this region also grows onions, garlic, onion, potatoes….and coffee. Coffee was the most recent to join the party, starting in the 1970's. Quality has always been high, but the coffee has never made it to export before being bulked and has traded as a commodity. But now, a new generation of farmers has returned to talk about 'specialty coffee.'
