The origins of coffee

Pocos de Caldas is a town in the Minas Gerais region in southeastern Brazil. It is itself larger than Spain as a whole and is divided geographically and culturally into several zones. Founded in 1872 in the south-west of the village, Pocos de Caldas today has a population of about 166,000 inhabitants. The original Indians of the Cataguases were driven out by the prospectors. After the discovery of hot springs in the town, Pocos de Caldas became an important spa town, visited by people from all over the country.
Besides the springs, tourists are attracted by the parks and gardens in the area. But the main attraction remains the water, both thermal and local rivers. It not only offers spas, but also numerous fountains. The spa industry is linked to the production of soap and internationally renowned glass products.
The climate is characterised by dry winters and mild summers. The average winter temperature is 15°C from April to September, with summer coming in October at around 21°C. The average rainfall is about 1 430 mm.
Coffee is found almost everywhere in the Minas Gerais region. Some plantations are producing coffee organically, i.e. without the use of industrial fertilisers and care products. The market demand for such coffee is high and its production is supported by government and international programmes. No wonder more and more farmers are starting to pay attention.
One of the most modern processing facilities in the region is located in Pocos de Caldas. The peak season comes between June and September, when coffee is harvested in Brazil. The so-called wet method, or washing, is used to process red coffee beans. In large pots filled with water, the coffee beans are mechanically stripped of their skins and husks. It is then fermented for a few days (again in water tanks), allowing the pulp to completely decompose and releasing the coffee beans. Which finally needs to be dried. Before the coffee enters the market, it rests in jute bags for a few days.
Brazil produces about one third of the world's coffee. The plantations cover an area of around 27 000 km2 and are mainly located in the south-eastern regions of Minas, Gerais, São Paulo and Paraná. There is perhaps no other country where coffee is so privileged. Brazil considers it a traditional beverage; coffee is served at business meetings, in restaurants or on the beach. Strong, warm and sweet. However, if you make it from the eyes of the Minas Gerais region, enjoy the drink without any embellishment. You will discover how literally "colourful" coffee can be.
