Flavours of South American coffee
South American coffees are characterised by a balanced flavour, creaminess and sweetness. They're often referred to as being simply "coffeeish"! In these coffees, the palette of classic coffee flavours beloved by the fans of this drink exquisitely unfurls: there are notes of chocolate, caramel and nuts. If you're going to encounter a hint of acidity in this type of coffee at all, it's guaranteed to be subtle and hardly even noticeable. Let's go on a journey across South American flavours while sipping coffee originating from various countries of this beautiful region!
Brazilian coffee
Brazil is often called "the land of coffee" — and the name is certainly well-deserved! This country is the world's largest producer and exporter of coffee. The traditional flavours and aromas of Brazilian coffee are what entices the fans of this drink to purchase it again and again. After all, who could resist a cup of coffee with the sweet taste of milk chocolate and vivid nutty notes in it?

Colombian coffee
Coffess originating from Colombia — a neighbour of Brazil — are characterised by a more vivid flavour and a fuller body. "Darker" notes of dark chocolate, caramel and liqueur dominate here, while sweet notes of dried fruit and even unexpected hints of tropical fruit can also be encountered from time to time. By the way, if you're up for trying Colombian specialty coffee, prepare to be surprised: its flavour palette defies any categorisation. That makes it even more interesting though, doesn't it?
Peruvian coffee
The treasure of Peruvian coffee is much harder to come across. On the mountains of the Peruvian Andes, only a small amount of coffee grows — which makes it all the more exciting to true fans of this unique drink. Its flavour is balanced and sweet, while the texture is exceptionally smooth. Notes of chocolate and honey can be vividly felt, while some subtle hints of citrus may also surprise the palete.

South American coffees are particularly universal, so they're suited for various brewing methods. Both espresso coffee machines and filter coffee makers reveal their flavour equally well.
