Coffee Bio
Salmo is one of the oldest and best-known quality blends sourced by Volcafe Santos. Our master cuppers created it for the most demanding buyers around the globe, and only lots grown at specific altitudes and latitudes in Brazil's top producing regions are eligible to become part of it.
The coffees come from the highlands of Cerrado, Mogiana and Sul de Minas, above 1,000 meters, where average temperatures sit between 20° and 23°C and rainfall exceeds 1,300 millimeters a year. Cherries are left to ripen in the sun on the branch until they are full of sugar, then harvested, sorted and dried on patios and in mechanical driers so the beans absorb as much fruit sweetness as possible. The coffee then rests for 30 days before milling, and Volcafe Brazil screens and sorts the green beans before export.
Salmo's supply chains are managed very closely, giving full traceability back to sustainable, responsible sources that follow good agricultural practices.
The blend is offered in two screen sizes: Scr 15/16 from the 25/26 crop, in store, and Scr 16+ from the new 26/27 crop, currently at origin. Expect a delicate aroma, mild acidity and high sweetness with milk chocolate, raisin and nutty notes.
