If you like Brazilian coffee, you might like...

• Peruvian coffee: This has a simple flavor like Brazilian coffee that is easier going down than the more complex coffees that offer a variety of tastes in one cup. Peruvian coffee has a similar body -or mouthfeel- like 2% milk. The biggest difference will be in the acidity of Peruvian coffee which is higher than that of Brazilian coffee, so you can expect more tart or slightly more citrus pop in this than Brazilian.
• Costa Rican coffee: This has a simple flavor like Brazilian coffee but this is where most of the similarities end. Costa Rican coffee has a heavier body, more like cream than a milky consistency. Also, it has considerably higher acidity so much 'higher' notes than what you'll find in Brazilian coffee.
