Description

Brazil is the world’s largest coffee producer and has many distinct regions that yield excellent cup characteristics.  The fact that Brazils are full bodied, neutral in flavor and exhibit almost no acidity happens to make them the perfect base for Espresso blends or as a single origin for anyone preferring less acidity in their coffee. This Brazil Santos coffee bean has consistency in quality, good strength and dependability in flavor that provides a nice base line for Wheelin Pete’s Espresso Blend.

Santos is the name of Brazil’s largest coffee seaport located in the state of Sao Paulo. Most of the coffee beans exported through Santos is actually grown in the state Sao Paulo and the neighboring state of Minas Gerais. These two states produce the majority of Brazil’s coffee beans.

Santos coffees are cured and processed by what we call the natural method. The harvested cherries are dried on huge patios the size of football fields and are then milled to export specifications.
