About the Roast
Our Brazil Salmo is a blend of a few different Cerrado region coffees. This particular roast has been a member of our coffee line up since our opening day and was one of the first coffees that we had delivered. We roast this coffee to a medium roast, dropping it toward the end of 1st Crack. You’ll pick up notes of chocolate, but it is especially nutty and smooth.
- FLAVOR: Dark Chocolate, Brown Sugar, Granola
- BODY: Medium
- ACIDITY: Mild
- PROCESS: Natural
Tasting Notes
A crowd favorite, this classic natural Brazil has familiar notes of baking spices, molasses, and almond, with hints of cocoa powder and orange zest. It has gentle but balanced acidity and a satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Aromatic wood notes (cedar) surface in the finish.
About the Coffee
Our Brazil Salmo Plus Natural is a blend of 100% Cerrado region coffees. The coffee was purchased at farm-gate from a select group of 12 farmers and processed by Volcafe Santos, our sister company in Brazil, in their facility in Varginha, Minas Gerais.
In Brazil the natural process means ripe and raisin cherries are collected, cleaned and separated by weight at washing stations. The pre-drying process occurs under the sun between 2 to 7 days or more (farmers favor full sun dried process whenever possible) and finalized in mechanical driers followed by 30 days of resting in wood boxes to homogenize the dry coffee.
Origin Report
There’s a 1-in-3 chance the coffee in your cup is from Brazil. It’s a huge country with a staggering coffee export — over 33% percent of the world’s coffee supply comes out of Brazil — and that doesn’t include the coffee they keep to drink themselves. Brazil has been at the top of the coffee export chain since the early 1800s when coffee farming overtook sugarcane as a cash crop.
