Blind Assessment

Rich with a low-toned, vibrant acidity. The body is creamily smooth, though a touch lighter than the heaviest-bodiedBrazils in the cupping. Here the sweet spice tones characteristic of natural Brazils are buoyant and floral, almost Yirgacheffe-like in their perfumes. The floral tones linger sweetly in the aftertaste.

Notes

Rich with a low-toned, vibrant acidity. Here the sweet spice tones characteristic of natural Brazils are buoyant and floral, almost Yirgacheffe-like in their perfumes. Floral tones linger sweetly in the aftertaste. Bourbon is Latin America's classic heirloom coffee variety. Santos is not a region, but a market and grade name for coffees from One or more of the best growing regions in southern Brazil: South Minas or Cerrado in Minas Gerais State or Mogiana in Sao P

Who Should Drink It

An alternative flower in the coffee bouquet for lovers of fragrant coffees like Ethiopia Yirgacheffes and Sidamos.
