„Brazil just completed its 4th National Championship when 24 baristas from all over the vast coffee country met in Sao Paulo. It may be commonly known that Brazil both is the largest coffee producer and also has been producing some excellent coffees. What is less known is that Brazil is the second largest coffee consumer, that the coffee bar culture is blooming and that the quality of its baristi is doing the same.“

„Baristas are responsible for coffees served in the commercial establishments (hotels, coffee shops, bars, restaurants, convenience shops, cafeterias) focusing on product quality, the artistic form of preparing coffee and an excellent service to the clients. Therefore, they disseminate the cultures and pleasure of drinking coffee, suggesting a diversification of its use.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„The rugged, rolling hills of Sul Minas, in the southern part of Minas Gerais state northeast of Sao Paulo, is the heart of Brazil coffee country and home of two of the largest and best-known fazendas, Ipanema and Monte Alegre. The Cerrado, a high, semi-arid plateau surrounding the city of Patrocinio, midway between Sao Paulo and Brasilia, is a newer growing area. It is the least picturesque of the three regions with its new towns and high plains, but arguably the most promising in terms of coffee quality, since its dependably clear, dry weather during harvest promotes a more thorough, even drying of the coffee fruit.“

„The trading volume on the coffee futures market in Brazil - the world’s largest producer and exporter - fell the day after the tragedy, although the Commodities & Futures Exchange (BM & F) in Sao Paulo became the only option for those operating with arabica coffee - the country’s main variety. Only 809 contracts were registered that day, well below the previous day’s 2,159 and the daily average for the month, 1,927.“
