Carnival Blend is a bold, full-bodied dark roast designed for drinkers who enjoy richness with a touch of brightness. Brazilian coffee provides a smooth, creamy base, while Mexican beans add gentle sweetness and subtle fruit character.

The result is a balanced yet expressive blend that feels lively without losing depth. It is well suited to daily brewing and performs especially well in French press, drip, or espresso-style preparation.

A confident, energetic blend built for bold flavour lovers.

Santos Brisa is sourced from Brazil’s core Arabica-growing regions, including Cerrado Mineiro, Mogiana, and Sul de Minas. These regions are known for stable climates, nutrient-rich soils, and consistent coffee production. Grown at elevations between 900 and 1300 metres, this coffee is naturally processed, with cherries dried whole under the sun to enhance body and sweetness. The result is a smooth, balanced cup with Brazil’s signature nutty and chocolate-forward character. Composed primarily of Catuaí and Caturra varieties, Santos-grade coffees are valued worldwide for their reliability, balance, and broad appeal across multiple roast styles.
