Brazilian
(Santos)
The coffee has a special individual flavour and is grown in
the San Paolo region of Brazil. The name Santos comes from
the main port from which it is shipped. Brazil produces about
35% of the world's coffee. The flavour is described as smooth,
moderate acidity and medium in body. Its flavour is dominated
by an earthiness which is characteristic of dry processed
coffees.
Colombian
Excelso
Our standard Colombian coffee is Medellin Excelso, grown in
the Central Cordillera. This quality coffee is known for its
smooth, well balanced flavour. It also produces lots of heavy
body; roasted slightly darker it brings out a lovely nutty
taste. Ideal for filter, cafetiere or espresso. The most popular
“all round original coffee”. No one can understand
the truth until he drinks of its frothy goodness'.”
Costa
Rica
Miromar Plantation. Grown over 2,000 metres these are marked
SHB (strictly hard bean), a feature of top arabica coffees.
The higher altitude allows the bean to mature more slowly,
increasing its acidity and giving a fuller flavour, its mild
flavour makes Costa Rican coffee very good for breakfast.
Guatemala
A pleasant full bodied coffee with a little acidity. |
