Brazil Santos NY 2/3 17/18 Green Coffee Beans 1 kg

Green Brazil Santos for home roasting

Brazil Santos has long been a familiar name in coffee. It is known for a sweet, smooth flavour, a medium body and a creamy, velvety texture.

Please note: this is green coffee. The beans need to be roasted before you can grind and brew them.

What the name tells you

Santos: the style of Brazilian coffee, named after the port it has traditionally been shipped from.
NY 2/3: the grade under the New York classification system, which rates green coffee by counting the defects found in a sample.
17/18: the screen size, a measure of how big the beans are. At screen 17/18 they are fairly large and even in size.
GC: short for Good Cup, a cup-quality grade in the Brazilian classification.

Why roasters choose it

Because Santos is so consistent, it makes a reliable foundation for a blend. Its sweetness and body give you a steady base, and you can build on that with other origins to suit your taste.
