2oz Brazil Santos - The Nutty One

Parceiros do Café is a lot that comes from producers in Cerrado Mineiro, Brazil. This lot is fully traceable as part of the Regiao Cerrado Mineiro Designation of Origin program. Coffees certified with the Designation of Origin are grown on farms in an area encompassing 55 municipalities that produce coffees with a unique identity, resulting from the combination of climate, soil, terrain, elevation, and the “know-how” of producers. The producers belong to one of nine cooperatives or six associations affiliated with the Cerrado Coffee Growers Federation, have signed a statement of good practices in accordance with Brazilian labor laws, and store coffee in accredited warehouses post-harvest.

 

Impact:

Each container of Parceiros do Café is traceable back to the farms where it was grown through a QR code linking to an online profile compiled prior to shipping the coffee. Parceiros do Café is transparently certified as part of the Regiao Cerrado Mineiro Designation of Origin program.

 

Flavor Profile:

The Parceiros do Café is creamy, full bodied, very sweet, and has a mellow acidity. Across various roast levels we tasted chocolate, toasted almond, peanut butter, molasses, and dried cherry. This is an exceptional coffee for espresso, as it will produce a syrupy shot with a thick layer of crema and lots of sweetness. We also love it as a smooth and chocolatey drip coffee.
