Ingredients
100 % RobustaTaste & Crema
Robusta Brazil Conillon coffee is full-flavored, with medium acidity and a subtle chocolatey character. The beautifully symmetrical bean lends itself to both making a strong drip coffee and mixing with select arabicas. Try blending 50% of this robusta with 50% Brazilian arabica. Such a blend will yield an extraordinary espresso with rich and smooth crema, chocolate, nuts, and fruit flavors.
Origins
Brazil and coffee go together like France and champagne. The largest and most populous country in South America accounts for a full third of the world's coffee production, and it is fair to say that Brazilian coffee is a concept that has gone down in history. After all, coffee has been a part of the country's humid tropical climate since the mid-18th century.
Coffee plantations cover some 27,000km2 and annually produce around 3 million tonnes of arabica and robusta. The latter is known as Conillon in Brazil. The first coffee bush (Coffea) is said to have been planted in Brazil by Francisco de Melo Palheta. That was in 1727 in the Pará region. Since then, coffee trees have spread to the regions of Minas Gerais, Sao Paulo, Paraná, Espírito Santo, Bahia, and Rondonia.
Coffee is harvested in Brazil between May and September. Coffee here is grown, harvested, and processed mainly by small businesses on farms at altitudes between 400-1600m. Statistics indicate that there are around 220,000 farms. They do not usually process the fruit of the coffee plant by washing, but by the classic dry method. The red coffee cherries are stripped of their skins and spread out in the sun to dry for 8-10 days. The coffee is then cleaned, sorted, and packed into 60kg bags.
Brazilian coffee production is dominated by arabica (85%), with local robusta grown mainly in the Espírito Santo region in the northwest.

Thanks to the hermetic seal, this container helps the contents further keep their freshness and protect them against humidity, light or foreign odors.
