Brazil

Brazil, which is in South America, holds the top spot as the world's leading producer of coffee. A whopping 2.68 million metric tonnes of coffee are produced there each year. For 150 years, it has held the top spot as the world's top producer of coffee!

Given how much coffee Brazil produces, it should come as no surprise that the climate is ideal for cultivating Arabica and Robusta beans.

Brazil has consistent temperatures throughout the year, low elevation, and exactly the proper amount of sunlight and rainfall. Brazil coffee is prized for its rich, creamy body, low acidity, and delicate flavors of bittersweet, rich chocolate, and caramel, making it the ideal base for fantastic flavored coffees.

But not only the bean has traveled and become international. The actual term itself has traveled a bit, first from East Africa to the Middle East, then to Europe, and then all the way around the world in its English version.
