Brazil produces approximately 30-35% of the world's coffee and this is considered the standard of the coffee industry. Santos coffees are grown in the state of Sao Paulo, with Bourbon Santos coffees coming from the original "Bourbon" strain of arabica plants brought in the 18th century from the island of Bourbon, now Reunion, in the Mozambique channel. It is a smooth, mellow coffee with lower acidity compared to other American coffees. Expect a sweet and nutty undertone that blends well with other coffees.
