About This Coffee

Hailing from the vast Cerrado Mineiro plateau in Brazil, this Santos coffee exemplifies the consistent quality the region is known for. Grown at lower altitudes compared to many specialty coffees, it develops a characteristic mildness. The natural processing method, common in Brazil, allows the coffee cherry to dry around the bean, imparting sweetness and body. Expect a predominantly nutty profile, often reminiscent of peanuts or almonds, complemented by notes of milk chocolate and caramel. Its low acidity and smooth, rounded body make it incredibly approachable and a favorite for espresso, where it produces abundant crema and a comforting flavor.
