This coffee is a single origin from Brazil, specifically from the São Paulo region. Named after the port city of Santos through which most Brazilian coffee is shipped, it is naturally processed using the dry method where cherries are dried in the sun. The beans are Bourbon, Catuai, and Mundo Novo varieties. It offers a full-bodied, mild cup with naturally sweet notes, chocolate undertones at medium to dark roast levels, low acidity, and a subtle earthiness characteristic of natural-processed coffees.
Grain & Grind opened its first coffee shop at the start of 2018 beneath the old Victoria Infirmary buildings on Battlefield Road in Glasgow. A roaster was installed in that original shop and later relocated to Inverness, where master roaster John now hand roasts in small batches across a range of over twenty offerings. The company has grown to eight café locations spread between Glasgow and Inverness. They also run a wholesale supply business providing beans, brew bags, and equipment to cafés, restaurants, and hotels, partnering with San Remo for espresso machines and Mahlkönig for grinders.
