BRAZIL SANTOS
Medium Dark Roast
Single Origin - 100% Arabica
A smooth, rich and versatile Brazilian single-origin coffee, roasted to a medium-dark profile to bring out its natural sweetness, body and deeper chocolate character.
Brazilian coffees are renowned for producing balanced, approachable cups with good body and sweetness, and this Santos coffee is no exception. We roast it slightly deeper to develop a fuller, more rounded flavour profile that works particularly well as an everyday espresso and across milk-based drinks, while still producing a satisfying cup when brewed black.
The result is a comforting, easy-drinking coffee with rich chocolate sweetness, toasted nut character, caramelised sweetness and a gentle fruitiness underneath. Expect a creamy mouthfeel and a smooth, lingering finish without excessive acidity.
This is a coffee designed for versatility — equally at home in your espresso machine, cafetière, filter brewer or batch brewer.

Creamy body with a smooth and lasting finish
Expect a predominantly chocolate and nut-led cup, with caramel sweetness and subtle cherry and honey notes adding complexity. The natural processing contributes to the coffee’s sweetness and rounded mouthfeel.

USE AND APPLICATIONS;
FILTER BREWING - Produces a smooth, rich and comforting filter coffee with plenty of body. The medium-dark roast brings forward chocolate, caramel and toasted nut flavours, while the underlying honey and cherry notes provide a little extra depth.
Ideal for those who prefer a fuller, more traditional-style filter coffee rather than a highly acidic or floral profile.
ESPRESSO - An excellent everyday espresso. Expect a rich, rounded shot with chocolate and toasted nut flavours, caramel sweetness and a creamy body. The relatively gentle acidity makes it particularly approachable as a straight espresso, while the deeper roast provides the intensity needed for a satisfying morning coffee.
MILK-BASED DRINKS - This is where the coffee really comes into its own.
The chocolate, caramel and nut character cuts comfortably through milk, making it particularly well suited to flat whites, lattes, cappuccinos and other milk-based coffees.
Expect flavours reminiscent of milk chocolate, caramel and toasted nuts, with enough body and roast depth to remain noticeable when combined with milk.
BATCH BREWING - A dependable choice for cafés, offices and home batch brewers.
The smooth body and balanced sweetness make this an easy-drinking batch coffee that works well throughout the day. It delivers a rich, familiar flavour profile without excessive acidity, making it suitable for a wide range of coffee drinkers.
