Description
An aggregate production coffee coming from the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Santos is a residual reference to the days before deregulation of the Brazilian coffee trade. Then, the term Santos referred to the best grade of coffee exported from Brazil through the port city of Santos. These beans are rated Fine Cup (FC) and Strictly Soft (SS), the highest cup category in the Brazilian coffee grading for the mill production coffees.
Tasting notes:
A nice clean example of a traditional Brazilian coffee. Full bodied and low acidity, thick, creamy, nutty and semi-sweet. At the darker roasts a very sweet first taste, almost a little fruity, and then quickly turns darker-toned with a bakers chocolate and a slightly toasted walnut flavor. Great blend base for espresso or adding body with darker tones.
Roasting Notes:
Avoid light roasts with it being decently lower acidity, cup comes together at a medium roast and tastes very nice into the darker roasts. For blending, we suggest right at the 2nd crack or darker for neutral taste and good body. For single origin drinking, we would suggest more in the medium roast range for a bit mellower and sweeter cup.
