The Coffees of Brazil (#)
„Coffee labeled Santos is pooled from market-grade lots and the lowest common denominator expresses itself as the primary cup character. Also, there is a lot of confusion online, perpetrated by coffee merchants (mostly innocent and unknowing) between region names, farms names, and cooperative names. For example, Monte Carmelo is a town in Cerrado, not a farm, and Cooxupe is a massive cooperative. The coffee you are actually getting in a bag of this is as unknown as buying Colombian Excelso.“

„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.“
