Brazilian coffee beans
Brazilian coffee comes from the country that grows more coffee than any other. The beans are known for a smooth body, low acidity and notes of chocolate, nuts and caramel, which makes them easy to drink and a common base for espresso blends. Here you'll find single-origin Brazilian coffee, including freshly roasted coffee from our own range, and many blends with Brazilian beans.

What does Brazilian coffee taste like?
A typical Brazilian coffee is round and soft rather than bright. You taste chocolate, hazelnut and sometimes caramel, with little acidity. Much Brazilian coffee is dried with the fruit still around the bean (natural process), which adds sweetness and body. That profile works in almost any brewing method and takes milk well, which is why so many espresso blends are built on Brazilian beans.
Regions in Brazil
A large share of Brazilian coffee comes from the state of Minas Gerais, which covers several growing regions:
| Region | Flavour profile characteristics | Climate and soil |
|---|---|---|
| Minas Gerais | Rich and balanced | Warm climate, fertile soil |
| Cerrado Mineiro | Full body, soft acids, distinct chocolate notes | Highland savannah, stable climate |
| Sul de Minas | Mild and creamy, subtly sweet finish | Rolling hills, mild temperatures |
Arabica varieties from Brazil
Brazil grows both arabica and robusta. Arabica names you'll come across:
- Yellow Bourbon: sweet and creamy, sometimes with a hint of honey or citrus.
- Catuaí: balanced, with a soft body and light caramel notes; widely grown in Minas Gerais.
- Santos: not a variety but the port the coffee is shipped from. The name is used for mild Brazilian arabica with notes of chocolate and nuts.
How to choose in this category
- Single origin, freshly roasted: Brazil and Cerrado for a smooth, round cup; Dark Roast Brazil if you want more body in espresso or with milk.
- Blends with Brazilian beans: South America and Bregman's Blend Brazilian Manners from our fresh range, plus 1 kg espresso and caffè crema blends from brands such as Julius Meinl, Mövenpick, Hausbrandt, Dallmayr, Tchibo and Gorilla.
- Brazilian coffee brands: illy Arabica Selection Brazil Cerrado Mineiro (250 g), Lavazza ¡Tierra! Brasile and Costa Coffee Brazilian Single Origin Dark Roast: Brazil coffee beans from well-known brands.
- No grinder: Brazil drip bags. Hang the bag over your cup and pour hot water through it.
- To compare: the Single Origins pack (7 x 250 g) lets you taste seven origins side by side.
You'll find even more choice among all our coffee beans.
Brewing Brazilian coffee
- Espresso: a medium to dark roast gives a full, creamy shot with notes of chocolate and nuts.
- Filter coffee: grind a little coarser and choose a medium roast to keep the soft, sweet notes.
- Cafetière: use a coarse grind and a brewing time of about 4 minutes for a full body.
- Bean-to-cup machine: Brazilian beans are a steady choice here, for espresso and longer coffees alike.
Frequently asked questions about Brazilian coffee
Which roast suits Brazilian coffee?

Is Brazilian coffee good for cold brew?
Yes. Its low acidity and full body give a smooth, sweet cold brew.
How does Brazilian coffee differ from other origins?
