Arabica coffee from Brazil has arrived in big volumes in a fresh challenge for hand-picked premium beans from less efficient, smaller farms elsewhere in Latin America and Africa.

Brazil's coffee exporters association Cecafe confirmed these beans were now being included in exchange stocks, saying it was in recognition of their improved taste and quality. Washed beans from Africa, Colombia, Central America and Peru have long been valued for superior flavour. Over time, however, Brazilian farmers have improved the taste of their unwashed and semi-washed coffee.
They simply state that approved beans should be free from 'unwashed flavours'. Unwashed coffee is so-called because its fruit is left to dry whole before the bean is extracted. "ICE has their standards established for each origin and each lot is subject to quality approval," he said. "We understand that if each lot has its quality approved ... it is because it fits established quality parameters", Ferreira said.
This surge initially didn't come to pass because there was not much spare premium coffee around so traders were able to get higher prices selling even semi-premium beans to roasters in the physical markets.

Exclusive-DeSantis' biggest donor says he won't give more money unless changes are madeHotel entrepreneur Robert Bigelow, the biggest individual donor to a group supporting Ron DeSantis' presidential bid, told Reuters on Friday he will not donate more money unless the Florida governor attracts new major donors and adopts a more moderate approach. The comments by Bigelow, who gave $20 million to the pro-DeSantis 'Never Back Down' super PAC in March, underscore donor concerns about the Florida governor's struggling campaign, which has been unable to make a dent in former President Donald Trump's huge lead for the 2024 Republican nomination.
