„For the die-hard Santos buyers, we can only point out that no single bean of coffee grows in that port city and that a modest premium can secure a sustainably priced traceable, top quality Brazil estate coffee from Brazil’s huge wealth of regional tastes. Cup of Excellence helps to highlight the regional specials and reinforce the fact that common, commodity grade bulk untraceable, unsustainable “Santos” is really not a coffee to be used by any roaster claiming to be in the Specialty business.“

„It is like calling French wine Marseilles or Le Havre after the port that it is shipped from. Santos is a common term for bulk commodity grade natural that Brazil produces in huge volume for the multinational roasting giants - you know, the guys in the Oxfam report for whom coffee is one of thousands of brands in the portfolio. Santos is bulked together from farms all over Brazil, and cannot be traced back to individual growers any more than vin de table can be traced to any particular vineyard. Santos (or Swedish or 3/4 mtgb) is the definition of industrial coffee.“
