Brazilian Coffee Santos

Brazilian Coffee Santos is the best in the world. Some will debate on it. Why don’t you read on and find out about this wonderful delicacy?

Brazilian Coffee SantosInspired by my good friend, CJ, I have recently traveled to some Brazilian regions and visited farms that produce the Arabica type.

Some of the farmers invited me for a cup of their Santos coffee type. It was a 2016-harvest, freshly collected, roasted and ground. The smell and taste were so fantastic that I decided to write my own piece of mind about

The Best Joe in the World

When not undergoing catastrophic frosts, Brazil provides 30 to 35 percent of the planet’s coffee.

Huge farm areas of millions of plants embrace the uplands of southeast Brazil.

When it comes to the popular coffee business, Brazil is of paramount importance, a colossus to be respected, but for the gourmet coffee commerce, the country narrows to a shorter area.

Part of all Java produced in Brazil is the best you can try. Despite the potential quality of their coffee, lots of producers don’t seem to realize that going for quality is something they can or want to do, and most of their industry has concentrated their efforts in average coffees with affordable prices.

The greater paradox in all of it is that this same majority of farmers has always been able to manage, collect, roast and grind their own beans to drink fantastic coffee “at home”. And, fortunately for us, some of them come to the conclusion that Brazil is, in fact, able to produce the finest coffee on Earth.

Nowadays, more and more businesses are engaging in that task.

Of the many market titles for Brazilian coffee, the label “Santos”, is of high historical importance for the specialty-coffee trade.

Brazilians produce Santos coffees mainly in the state of Sao Paulo.Brazilian Coffee Santos - Santos port

In the nineteenth century, the harsh flavor of the Rio- coffee (a lesser label) battled for acclaim with the smoother Brazilian Coffee Santos.

Much of the traditional New Orleans “brewster” was Rio-coffee, with chicory combined.

Companies in the USA still roast dark aiming for the Latin taste and include Rio coffee. The reason is that Latins, are used to their cheap home Rio-taste and, may yet crave a little of their old homeland dark roasted harshness.

Santos was (and is) one of the leading ports that shipped (and ships) Bourbon Arabica coffee in Brazil, For this reason, the label was created after its name.

After that, the grains grow differently and are named Flat-Bean Santos, of less value and quality, but still top class.

Bandeirante is also a particularly excellent and consistent Brazilian estate-grown coffee that frequently appears on specialty coffee lists.

Bourbon Santos is smooth in flavor, medium to bold in body, with low to moderate acidity and is top notch worldwide.
