Brazilian Santos Coffee Beans
Brazilian Santos Coffee Beans: General Store
Our medium roast Brazilian Santos Coffee Beans, affectionately named General Store, is crafted as a tribute to the bustling heart of the American Frontier—the General Store, where travelers and settlers gathered for supplies and stories. Just as the General Store was a cornerstone of frontier communities, our General Store coffee serves as a cornerstone of your daily routine, offering a rich and balanced cup that brings people together. The beans for this roast are sourced from the esteemed Santos region in Brazil, renowned for producing some of the world’s finest coffee.
Origin & Farm Information
Grown in the fertile Santos region of Brazil, our General Store coffee thrives at elevations between 3,500 to 5,500 feet above sea level. This high-altitude environment promotes slow bean maturation, enhancing the beans' complexity and flavor profile. The cooler temperatures and nutrient-rich volcanic soils not only contribute to the coffee’s smooth and nutty flavors but also naturally reduce pest populations. Consequently, the need for pesticides is minimized. Local farmers employ meticulous hand-picking methods to ensure only the highest quality beans are harvested, preserving the integrity and distinctive character of each batch.
Roasting Level & Process
Our General Store coffee undergoes a medium roast, carefully balanced to highlight the beans' inherent sweetness and nuanced flavors. The roasting process is precisely controlled to develop a rich, caramelized profile without overpowering the coffee’s natural characteristics. By achieving the perfect medium roast, we ensure that each bean retains its smoothness and balanced acidity, resulting in a versatile brew that complements a variety of brewing methods and palates.
