Brazil Salmo PLUS - Natural
Our Brazil Salmo Plus Natural is a blend of 100% Cerrado region coffees from 12 producers.
The coffee was purchased via farm-gate and processed by Volcafe Santos in Brazil, in their facility in Varginha, Minas Gerais.
In the Brazil the natural process means ripe and raisin cherries are collected, cleaned and separated by weight at washing stations.
The pre-drying process occurs under the sun between 2 to 7 days or more (farmers favor full sun dried process whenever possible) and finalized in mechanical driers followed by 30 days of resting in wood boxes to homogenize the dry coffee.
Cerrado is a relatively new region for coffee production.
Located in the northwest of Minas Gerais state, Cerrado is a large plateau where predominant topography is flat to slightly wavy.
The altitude varies from 2900 to 4100 feet above sea level.
