The weather in Brazil makes it one of the few countries able to successfully use the dry (natural) method of processing its beans. This means that the coffees are dried prior to being removed from the cherry.
When coffee is dried inside the fruit the sweetness of the fruit will carry over into the perfect cup of coffee. Using the dry method, coffee will be heavy, sweet, and complex.
This drying method is very complicated, with longer drying times and the risk of fermentation, but it also showcases the reason Brazil is a world leader in this area.
Named after the port which Brazil’s famous coffees pass through, Santos yields a low acidic, light-bodied brew. You will experience a pleasant aroma and a mild, smooth flavor in this light roast premium South American coffee.
Santos is a Single origin coffee that makes a perfect dinner or after dinner drink.
Until next time – happy brewing.
