Brazil Santos Fine Cup Arabica
Perfect as an espresso, this blend with its chocolate flavours and hint of spice is great for making longer drinks, such as a latte.
Brazil is by far the world's largest producer of coffee and as such, there's a great amount of quality beans to chose from. The Santos Fine Cup Arabica that we use is sourced from some of the best known growing regions in the country, those of Sul De Minas, Minas Gerais and Sao Paulo.
Due to coffee's importance to the local, regional and national economy, money has been invested in the industry which has resulted in state of the art growing, picking and processing techniques becoming widespread, resulting in a higher quality crop quality.
This Brazilian arabica has noticeable nutty profile and a malty sweetness.
