South America Green Coffee

Coffee was introduced through different channels, and at different times, throughout Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela. The region has been a major coffee production zone since the 19th century; Brazil continues to be a top arabica producer in the world today. The more you explore South American coffees, the more you’ll find that coffee from the Andes and Cordilleras of Colombia hardly resemble and share attributes with the medium-altitude coffees of Brazil’s vast flatlands (Cerrado, Mogiana, Minas Gerais). Even with geographic similarities, the nations of South America produce a diverse range of coffee. Learn more in our Coffee Library.
