Discovering the Heart of Brazil: The Story Behind Gringo Roasters Brazil Santos Coffee
At Gringo Roasters, every coffee we offer tells a story, and our Brazil Santos Coffee is no exception. Sourced from the rolling hills of Sul de Minas, this coffee embodies the vibrant heritage, rich traditions, and artisanal craftsmanship of Brazil’s most celebrated coffee-growing region.
Sul de Minas: Where Tradition Meets Excellence
Nestled in southern Minas Gerais, the Sul de Minas region is home to some of the world’s finest coffee farms. This area’s mild climate, gentle rainfall, and unique microclimates create the perfect environment for cultivating coffee. The farms, ranging from 10 to 150 hectares, have been passed down through generations, with families refining their techniques to produce exceptional beans.
The result is a coffee that captures the essence of Brazil’s coffee culture, combining decades of expertise with the natural beauty of the region.
From Farm to Cup
Our Brazil Santos Coffee is a testament to the hard work of these small-scale producers. The beans, grown at altitudes of 950–1,100 meters, are harvested with care and undergo natural processing. This traditional method preserves the beans’ inherent sweetness and complexity, resulting in a coffee that’s as rich in flavor as it is in heritage.
When we first cupped this coffee, we were captivated by its refined profile. It offers a smooth body and medium acidity, with a flavor experience that’s both elegant and approachable:
• Chocolate: A deep, luxurious foundation of smooth cocoa tones.
• Mandarin Orange: Bright, citrusy highlights that add a refreshing twist.
• Clean Finish: A velvety texture and balanced profile that leave you wanting more.
Crafting the Perfect Roast
Once the beans reached our roastery, we worked tirelessly to craft the perfect medium roast. This roast level enhances the beans’ natural chocolatey richness and vibrant citrus notes while maintaining their smooth and refined character. The result is a coffee that’s perfect for any occasion—whether you’re savoring a quiet morning cup or hosting friends for a coffee tasting.
