Cerrado

 Region Overview

The Cerrado Mineiro region, located in the western part of Minas Gerais, is one of Brazil’s most important specialty coffee zones. With altitudes ranging from 800 to 1,300 meters, a tropical climate, and well-defined wet and dry seasons, Cerrado offers perfect conditions for producing high-quality Arabica beans.

Characteristics

Altitude: Mid-to-high elevation enhances sweetness and balance.

Climate: Predictable seasons allow for uniform ripening and consistent harvests.

Farms: Modern, mechanized farms ensure efficiency while maintaining quality standards.

Certification: Cerrado Mineiro was the first Brazilian region to earn a Designation of Origin (DO), guaranteeing authenticity and traceability.

 Flavor Profile

Cerrado coffee is prized for its sweet, caramel-like flavor and consistent quality, with:

Medium body

Balanced acidity

Notes of chocolate, nuts, and dried fruit

Clean, smooth finish

This makes it a favorite for espresso blends and single-origin offerings in specialty cafés worldwide.

Why Cerrado Coffee Stands Out

Consistency: Uniform climate and mechanized farming deliver reliable quality year after year.

Recognition: Internationally respected for its Designation of Origin status, similar to wine regions.

Innovation: Farmers embrace modern techniques while preserving Brazil’s coffee heritage.

Export Strength: Cerrado beans are widely exported, often featured in premium blends.
