What Are Brazilian Green Coffee Beans?

Brazilian Green Coffee Beans are raw, unroasted coffee seeds harvested from the finest agricultural estates across Brazil—the world’s largest and most reliable coffee producer. These beans are carefully harvested, hulled, sorted, and stabilized to preserve their natural chemical profile, high density, and inherent chlorogenic acids before undergoing roasting.

Known globally for their low acidity, heavy creamy body, and sweet flavor notes of chocolate, caramel, and toasted nuts, Brazilian green beans serve as the indispensable base for espresso blends as well as distinguished single-origin roasts across international markets.

Arabica vs. Robusta (Conilon): Finding the Right Commercial Profile

Depending on your target consumer base and processing requirements, we supply both major coffee species directly from certified partner farms:

  • Brazilian Arabica (Bourbon, Catuai, Mundo Novo): Grown at elevations between 800m and 1,350m above sea level. Renowned for smooth chocolate undertones, nutty profiles, mild citric acidity, and rich crema formation in espresso brewing.
  • Brazilian Conilon / Robusta: Cultivated primarily in warmer, lower elevations such as Espírito Santo. Offers higher caffeine content, robust body, neutral bitterness, and exceptional yield stability for instant coffee manufacturing and commercial blending.

Destination Region Major Discharge Ports Estimated Ocean Transit Time
Europe & UK Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, Genoa 16 – 24 Days
North America New York, New Orleans, Houston, Long Beach 18 – 26 Days

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for green coffee exports?

Our standard minimum order quantity is one 20-foot Full Container Load (FCL). A 20ft container holds approximately 320 to 360 bags of 60kg each, which equates to roughly 19.2 to 21.6 metric tons of green coffee. Mixed container loads (combining screen sizes or grades) can be accommodated upon prior consultation.

2. How are the green coffee beans packaged to preserve freshness during sea shipping?

We pack our coffee in standard 60kg traditional jute/burlap bags. For extended shelf-life and moisture defense against ocean sea-sweat, we strongly recommend and provide specialized hermetic liners (such as GrainPro or Ecotact) inside the jute bags. Bulk delivery in 1-metric-ton polypropylene big bags is also available for high-capacity industrial processors.

3. Can we request pre-shipment green coffee samples (PSS) for cupping?

Yes, pre-shipment samples (typically 300g to 1kg) are available for verified commercial buyers and roasters. Samples allow you to conduct physical defect inspection, screen sorting, and sensory cupping evaluation before the contract is finalized or dispatch occurs. Express air-courier dispatch is arranged directly from Brazil.

4. What are the predominant flavor profiles of Brazilian green coffee?

Brazilian green coffee beans, particularly naturally processed Arabicas from Sul de Minas and Cerrado, are world-renowned for their heavy, velvety body, mild and balanced acidity, and sweet aromatic notes of milk chocolate, roasted nuts, hazelnut, and brown sugar. This profile makes them the ultimate foundation for balanced espresso roasts.

5. How do you control and guarantee moisture content during transit?

We strictly ship green beans with internal moisture stabilized between 11.0% and 12.5%, verified using calibrated moisture analyzers. Additionally, shipping containers are fitted with container desiccant poles and lined with protective barrier kraft lining to ensure stability across shifting tropical and temperate climate zones.

6. What payment terms and Incoterms do you support?

We work primarily under standard International Chamber of Commerce (Incoterms 2020) including FOB (Port of Santos / Paranaguá) and CIF / CFR to any designated international seaport. Typical payment terms for export orders include Irrevocable Confirmed Letter of Credit (L/C at sight) or Telegraphic Transfer (T/T deposit balance against draft shipping documents).

7. What is the difference between “Natural” and “Pulped Natural” processing in Brazilian beans?

In the classic Natural (dry) process, ripe coffee cherries dry entirely in the sun with fruit pulp intact, giving the beans a heavier body, high sweetness, and pronounced chocolate/fruit notes. In the Pulped Natural (semi-washed) process, the outer skin is removed immediately while the sweet mucilage remains on the seed during drying, resulting in a cleaner cup profile with brighter, refined acidity.

8. Do you provide third-party inspection certificates prior to loading?

Yes. In addition to mandatory Brazilian federal phytosanitary certification (MAPA), buyers can mandate independent third-party inspection agencies such as SGS, Cotecna, or Bureau Veritas at the port of origin. Inspectors verify container hygiene, total bag count, weight tolerances, defect grading, and moisture conformity before container sealing.
