Brazil Santos - Single Origin Medium Roast

Sun-drenched sweetness, toasted hazelnut, and buttery chocolate warmth.

Grown on the sun-drenched rolling hills of Paraná and São Paulo, our Brazil Santos single-origin is a tribute to South American coffee heritage. Sourced from historic family-owned Fazenda estates, these heirloom Catuai and Mundo Novo cherries are cultivated in fertile volcanic loam soils at elevations up to 1,050 meters.

What makes this coffee legendary is its traditional "pulped natural" processing: after harvest, the cherries are pulped and laid out on expansive patios to dry under the equatorial sun with their sweet fruit sugars intact. This sun-drying caramelizes natural sugars directly into the green bean, yielding a remarkably round, buttery body with notes of creamy milk chocolate, toasted hazelnut, and rich brown sugar. Naturally low in acidity, it delivers velvety comfort in every pour.

Home Brewing Guide

Remarkably versatile, Brazil Santos is engineered to excel across all brew formats:

• Automatic Drip & Everyday Pot: Grind medium. Use a 1:16 ratio (approximately 2 tablespoons ground coffee per 6 oz fresh cold water). Produces an approachable, naturally sweet morning pot that needs zero added sugar to shine.
• French Press: Grind coarse. Use a 1:15 ratio (30g coffee to 450g water at 200°F) and steep for 4 minutes. Plunging without paper filters preserves natural aromatic oils, creating a thick, buttery cup rich with roasted nut praline notes.
• Espresso & Milk Drinks: Grind fine. Pull a 1:2 ratio (18g dry coffee to 36g liquid espresso in 27 to 29 seconds). Pours dense golden crema that forms the quintessential sweet, chocolatey base for lattes, flat whites, and cappuccinos.
