Brazilian Coffee

Brazilian coffee is just like the Brazilian people: diverse, surprising and full of personality. Thanks to its privileged climate and location, Brazil produces a variety of coffees, which allied with Cacique’s quality are made into exclusive blends. From 100% Arabica to 100% Robusta, we can offer a product which caters exactly to your needs, with whichever blend you prefer. You choose the color of the roast, the bitterness, acidity and aroma. We will provide you with a high quality and exclusive instant coffee.

Arabica

A coffee with distinct, sweet and smooth flavors and aromas. Its bean is oval-shaped and high in acidity. Cultivated in mild temperatures and higher altitudes, between 1000 and 2000 meters above sea level.

Robusta

More bitterness, longevity on the palate and full-bodied. Robusta beans are more round in shape and grow better in warmer and more humid climates up to 700 meters high.
