Sul de Minas

Part of Minas Gerais, Brazil

The south of Minas Gerais, and the heart of the largest coffee state in Brazil. Unlike the Cerrado Mineiro, Sul de Minas is a customary name with no registered boundary. The registered indication within the south of the state is Mantiqueira de Minas, a denomination of origin covering 25 municipalities on the Minas side of the Mantiqueira range. CoffeeHQ has read no source specific to Sul de Minas as a whole, so this record says no more than that, and the Brazil entry covers the state.

This page is a short reference entry. The full account of the subject is the Brazil entry in the world coffee atlas.
