CBG Brazil
Course In Production – Lessons Published Biweekly
Welcome to the second in our series of Buyer’s Guides. This new course will be published in episodes over the next few months. Brazil is the most influential coffee producing country, in terms of its history of research and innovation. But also financially, the success or failure of the Brazilian coffee harvest has a knock on effect to global financial markets. This course will explain what you can expect from growing regions, and plant varieties; from typical flavour profiles and seasonality to modern grading standards and roasting characteristics. The course will examine the history of human exploitation in Brazil — the effects of colonisation and slavery.We will look into industrial coffee farming, whilst also talking to the many innovators who are helping to revolutionise sustainable coffee production in Brazil.
All of our courses and certifications are available through BH Unlimited as a monthly subscription. When this course has completed production, it will be available as a single course purchase, giving you access for life!
