Brazil's great tradition of coffee cultivation and processing is fully reaffirmed by this exceptional variety. The distinctive feature of Santos Cerrado is also due to its processing according to an ancient method that involves washing the cherries. Grown in the region known as “Cerrado,” it stands out for its sweetness and its smooth, delicate character. A “soft,” naturally sweet, full-bodied taste with mild acidity.

Our coffees have the important distinction of being artisanally roasted; only experience and human oversight can achieve the optimal roast level. Roasted over direct fire, it is a very balanced coffee.

How does the water decaffeination process work?
The decaffeination process removes caffeine directly from green coffee. This natural method uses water and repeated passes over activated carbon, without the use of any chemical additives throughout the process. The innovation lies in preventing the coffee's aromatic qualities from being lost along with the caffeine during processing.
