This coffee originates from Brazil, the world's largest coffee producer. Grown in the Santos region at altitudes of or below 1000 meters above sea level, this coffee represents the classic character of Brazilian Santos beans. The profile features nutty notes, sweet caramel, and a smooth creamy body, with emerging hints of citrus and acidity from modern processing techniques.
