About 17Nine Coffee

BRAZIL

Brazil produces about a third of the world's coffee, making the country by far the world's largest producer, due to the warm temperatures, heavy rainfalls and dry seasons that prevail. There are 12 states in Brazil which are responsible for the production of Brazilian coffee and around 300,000 coffee plantations in total. Where most countries specialise in growing a single type of bean, Brazil produce both Arabica and Robusta, which is partly why they play such a big part in the production and export of coffee around the world.

WHERE DO WE GET OUR COFFEE FROM?

The coffee culture was established in the I.G region of "Campo das Vertentes" since 1778. The fertility, the remarkable terrain, the perfect climate, the beauty of the landscape and the tradition of families and farms, created a unique environment for the planting and harvesting of Premium HIGH QUALITY coffees. Fazenda Mundo Novo located in the fertile soil of Bom Sucesso - Minas Gerais - Brazil, was already producing Quality Coffee when it was acquired by the Mazzi Santomauro family in 1996. The Santomauro family is traditional in the coffee business, demonstrating passion and professionalism for several generations while at the same time, strictly complying with all socio-environmental legislation, preserving its water springs, riparian forests, toil and flora, respecting biodiversity reserves and contributing to the improvement of the quality of life index of its employees.

WHAT IS CAFEZINHO?

The cafezinho is the most common type served in Brazil. It's a small, filtered cup of coffee, served at an incredibly hot temperature. The flavour is very intense and despite similar, smaller coffee cups, the drink is absolutely nothing like an espresso as a cafezinho isn't pressurised, resulting in a much different taste.

COLUMBIA

Famous for its alluring charm and natural beauty, scenic mountains, tropical rainforests and stunning beaches, Colombia is home to the superior coffee bean, Arabica. In 2020 Colombia amounted to nearly 14 million 60-kilogram bags of Colombian coffee beans, with the country dedicating over 850 thousand acres of land to this crop. As well as being home to some of the oldest indigenous populations in the world, with roots dating back to 15,000BC, Colombia is emerging as a major tourist destination and is ranked as the third largest coffee producer in the world.
