Brazil's coffee beans are well-known for their rich flavours. Harvestingnormally starts between April and September, when the weather is dryand the temperature is between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. TheBrazilian climate is ideal for growing coffee trees; with constant tropicaltemperatures, it's no surprise that Brazil produces the most coffeebeans in the world (contributing to over a third of the entire coffee beanproduction).
The Icatu coffee is grown in Minas Gerais, one of the 26 states of Brazil.It is a hybrid variety created by crossing arabica and robusta (bourbon)beans with Mundo Novo. The coffee doesn't necessarily come from onefarm but is more of a "cooperative microlot" initiative. It's used in manyblends but try it on its own and you'll find it's all you need.
