Brazil is currently the world's largest coffee producing country, so Brazilian beans are also one of the main components in all blended coffees. However, due to their special flavor profile that isn't preferred by buyers, Brazilian beans are often used as substitutes when coffee bean production is low.

Santos is a neutral coffee bean with a flat, neutral flavor characteristic. Overall, the taste is smooth and well-balanced, neither overly bitter nor overly acidic. It's praised as the backbone of coffee and is frequently blended with other coffee beans. For example, the "Mamba" coffee, made with equal parts Brazilian and Mandheling beans, is widely loved by the public.

Italian Coffee Bean Blending

When it comes to how to blend Italian coffee beans, FrontStreet Coffee uses Brazilian Cerrado coffee beans as the base for all blended Italian coffee beans. Brazilian Cerrado coffee beans feature outstanding flavor balance and口感 balance, with a very typical Brazilian coffee style. They have prominent nutty flavors, distinct chocolate notes, and low acidity.

Brazilian coffee has consistent quality and is an indispensable bean for creating blended coffees like Mamba or Mamo. At FrontStreet Coffee, the blend of Brazilian coffee with Colombian Huilan coffee beans is considered a premium blend, while the blend of Brazilian coffee with Yunnan small-grain coffee is a basic blend.
