How Did Brazil Become The Biggest Exporter of Coffee?

If you know a thing or two about Java, then I am sure that you also know that it originated in Ethiopia, rumored to be discovered by a goat herder, and then moved on to Turkey. From there, it snaked its way up to Europe, where the Dutch cultivated it in the 1700s. The French then took it with them to French Guiana, and a Brazilian army officer picked it up at that time. It all makes sense! He took the coffee plant back with him to Brazil, and now Brazil is the number one exporter of coffee in the world, far ahead of all other coffee producing countries.

It's a pretty small world when you think about it, especially with this story of how Brazilians discovered the coffee plant, and I am sure that they are thankful for it today. Countries all over the world export their coffee from Brazil directly, as well as the many other regions responsible for coffee production.

So what does that mean to you? Of course, brew yourself a Brazilian cup of Joe for a fine and decadent taste, but don't stop there! Take the time as a true coffee connoisseur to sample all of the worldwide coffee wares that are available to you, and you won't regret it.
