Silva is quite a chatterbox.

Of course, it might also be because they all have beauties in their arms, and without talking, they might end up doing something else.

So Silva took the opportunity to educate Chen Yiyang and little Marco on some coffee knowledge.

The characteristic of Brazilian coffee beans is that they don't have any distinct characteristics.

Of course, you can't say that Brazil doesn't have specialty coffee beans, but those are usually either consumed domestically in Brazil or sold to high-end users in Europe and America.

The coffee beans that are exported in large quantities are those with the highest yield and no obvious features.

"So when I sell coffee beans, I sell blend beans. The collaborations with a few Asian countries this time clearly state that I will supply them with blend beans.

I originally planned to blend coffee beans from the Sao Paulo region with those from other regions to sell to them, but now due to production issues, I don't have enough beans."

"What are blend beans?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.

"Coffee beans are categorized into single-origin, SOE, and blend beans.

Single-origin beans are from a single region with distinctive flavors, usually used for pour-over or espresso coffee.

SOE is single-origin, from the same batch, and roasted medium or above. Compared to single-origin, SOE is stronger and more bitter, mostly small-batch and specialty beans, all used for espresso coffee.

The last type is blend beans, which are a mix of different coffee regions, bean types, processing methods, and roast levels to create a richly flavored coffee bean.

Of course, the biggest feature of blend beans is the low cost, typically used by large chain coffee shops for business, like lattes and cappuccinos, which are made with blend beans."

After Silva's explanation, Chen Yiyang understood why the inside information suggested there was a business opportunity here.

Brazilian coffee beans are very suitable for making blend beans to supply large chain coffee shops.

But because of this year's production issues, Silva doesn't have enough blend beans and needs to import a batch from outside to mix with the original Brazilian beans and make blend beans to sell.

Since it was their first meeting with Silva, Chen Yiyang didn't go into too much detail with him. After getting to know each other, they focused their energy on the party.

The next morning.

After pushing aside the leg of a Japanese-Brazilian beauty lying on him, Chen Yiyang got up and called his domestic team, asking them to help contact the Yunnan Province coffee bean supplier mentioned in the inside information.

Chen Yiyang initially just wanted some samples sent over.

But unexpectedly, once his team made contact, the opposite party's boss brought the entire team to Brazil.

Chen Yiyang had no choice but to go to the airport to greet them.

"Welcome to Brazil." Chen Yiyang extended his hand.

"Mr. Chen, I've heard so much about you, and it's a pleasure to finally meet."

Yunnan Province coffee bean supplier Yu Changping tightly grasped Chen Yiyang's hand.

The history of coffee bean cultivation in Yunnan Province is long-standing.

Initially, a French missionary brought the coffee variety to Yunnan in 1892 and succeeded in planting it in a valley.

Yunnan's coffee beans are actually of high quality, but for a long time, due to the absence of a related coffee bean industry, Yunnan's beans remained relatively unknown.

However, with economic growth, the coffee bean industry in Yunnan has begun to develop rapidly.

In 2006, Huaxia was ranked thirtieth among global coffee traders, but just ten years later, it had jumped to fourteenth.

Of course, the rapid increase in coffee production inevitably encountered a problem.

The reputation of Yunnan coffee beans is far less than its production volume.

Many regions would rather go to Brazil to buy coffee than to Huaxia.

Not to mention Brazil exports over a million bags of coffee to Huaxia every year; it's inconceivable for someone to not go to Brazil and come to Huaxia to buy coffee.

So the current issue with Yunnan coffee is that production has increased, but there are few buyers.

So much so that as soon as Chen Yiyang made contact, they immediately rushed over.

Although they came, Yu Changping himself was a bit puzzled.

Brazil is the world's largest coffee bean-producing region; why is this Chen Yiyang asking if he can bring some coffee bean samples to Brazil and if there's capability to export beans to Brazil?

Even though he couldn't figure out the reasoning, Yu Changping didn't plan to pass up any opportunity and immediately brought his team and beans over.

Any questions he had could be asked once he met Chen Yiyang personally.

After some initial courtesies.

Chen Yiyang asked Yu Changping, "Have you tried making blend beans with Yunnan's and Brazil's coffee beans before?"

"Yes, we have tried." Yu Changping quickly replied, "The most important thing about blend beans is that the flavors of the coffee beans shouldn't differ too much. Yunnan coffee beans and Brazilian beans are both Timor hybrids, their flavors aren't too different, and Brazilian beans are very suitable for blends, pairing perfectly with Yunnan beans."

"Then make some blend beans for me." Chen Yiyang immediately asked Yu Changping to use the beans they brought and local Brazilian beans to make and roast blend beans.

Blending coffee beans requires mixing the two types first before roasting.

When exporting, you also export the roasted beans.

So on Yu Changping's end, they quickly roasted the coffee beans and sent them to Chen Yiyang.

Chen Yiyang then arranged another meeting with Silva.

This time, without little Marco, the meeting between Chen Yiyang and Silva was a bit more formal.

"I brought some coffee beans for you to try." Chen Yiyang took out the roasted beans that Yu Changping had given him.

As a coffee bean supplier, Silva naturally knew how to make pour-over coffee.

He immediately used Chen Yiyang's beans to brew a pot of pour-over coffee and had a taste.

"It tastes a bit like blend beans made with Brazilian and Colombian coffee beans."

After tasting, Silva first stated his guess, then continued, "But I'm sure you didn't use Colombian beans."

"Why do you say that?"

"I'm not a fool." Silva replied directly, "You contacted me obviously because of the coffee bean business. If they were Colombian beans, you wouldn't have me taste them, especially since Colombian production isn't high this year either."

"These are our country's coffee beans." Chen Yiyang revealed the truth directly.

"I see." As a shrewd businessman, Silva immediately understood what Chen Yiyang meant.

"Let's get straight to business then." Silva said, "I'd be happy to use your coffee beans to make blend beans and sell them to those Asian customers, but we need to discuss the details first."
