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.“

„“This is the first report of a decaffeinated variety of Coffea arabica,” says Paulo Mazzafera, head of the team at the University of Campinas, Brazil, which isolated the strains. The coffee plants discovered have a caffeine level of only 0.07%. Normal varieties of commercially cultivated Arabica coffees possess levels of 2% caffeine. Mazzafera announced his discovery in the prestigious science journal Nature last month.“

„For three generations, these farms, which saddle the border between Minas Gerais and Sao Paulo, have been producing coffee of the bourbon strain, one that most other farms have all but eliminated because of its relatively low production. Bourbon will typically produce 20-30% less than the more common Novo Mundo and Catuai plants.“
