Brazil Santos

Brazil Santos Light Roast Coffee Beans

Brazil is responsible for around 25% of the worlds coffee, making it one of the largest coffee producers, a title it has held for the last 150 years. Brazilian coffee is described to be well balanced, with a variety of smooth sweetness in addition to a medium body. Santos is a coffee grown in multiple plantations from the large commercial agricultural states of Brazil.

For those coffee drinkers who are new to buying from a roaster, Santos would be a great option. Its light roast represents the standard roast profile that small batch roasters prefer, therefore allowing nuanced flavours to come through in the cup. Notable flavours of Brazilian coffee includes chocolate and nut with a low acidity. So if you like your coffee sweeter and with little bitterness this is an ideal choice. It is also perfect as a refreshing change for those who are used to full bodied, dark roast beans. A velvety smooth flavour and medium body this coffee is sure to impress and we hope you enjoy it.

Brazil Coffee Port

Santos is a beautiful coastal city in southern Brazil’s São Paulo state. It has a population of over 400,000. The city owes its economic success to the coffee trade as the exporting of coffee and other commodities in the 20^th century greatly contributed to its wealth.

In 2006 the Port of Santos became the busiest container port in Latin America. What contributed to its success was the major overhaul and modernisation in the early 20^th century, eliminating the risk of diseases and providing the port with a much more safe, industrial-age infrastructure.

Coffee was the main export of this port until the Second World War. It is now a slightly smaller component amongst cars, machinery, orange juice and soybeans.
