Maison Santos' Transfair Coffee is a slightly full-bodied aromatic blend, composed of coffees sourced directly from small farms in South America and Tanzania. This unique coffee combines the best of South American and Tanzanian terroirs, offering a rich and nuanced tasting experience.
The aromatic profile of this coffee is both complex and refined, with notes of cocoa, dried fruits, and a subtle spicy hint. On the palate, it stands out with moderate acidity, a pleasant slight bitterness, and a silky texture. The finish is long-lasting and harmonious, leaving impressions of hazelnut and caramel. Each cup of Transfair Coffee reflects not only the diverse flavors of the original terroirs but also Maison Santos' commitment to quality and ethics.
