Brazil Salmo Plus Natural

Salmo Plus Natural coffee from Brazil is a Genuine Origin crowd favorite and easily our most versatile coffee. Salmo offers coffee roasters a classic Brazil cup profile, with notes of milk chocolate, golden raisin, and roasted peanuts that will leave drinkers with the impression of a Reese’s peanut butter cup in the mug. Coupled with a gentle but balanced acidity and a light body, Salmo meets all the expectations of a delicious Brazilian coffee.

Salmo is a blend of Cerrado region coffees, purchased at farm gate from a select group of producers. The coffee was then processed and prepared for export by Volcafe Santos, our sister company in Brazil, at their facility in Varginha, Minas Gerais.

Natural Process Unroasted Coffee Beans

It’s always sunny in Cerrado. Brazil maximizes the ample sunlight and leverages the natural process to manage vast quantities of harvested cherries every day. The pre-drying process occurs under the sun for 2 to 7 days (farmers favor full sun-dried coffee processing whenever possible) and can be finalized in mechanical driers. After 30 days of resting in wooden boxes to homogenize the beans, the coffee is then prepped for export.

Brazil Coffee Quality Grading

This coffee is NY 2/3 grade, which is a New York grading standard. The designation assures that there are no more than 8-12 visible defects in a 300-gram sample. This small number of defects should ensure little to no impact on the cup quality and flavor. The acronym, SSFC stands for Strictly Soft Fine Cup. This designation is reserved for coffees with a clean cup that are free from off or hard flavors.
