Samba is an energetic music genre from Brazil and, just like coffee, has its roots in Africa. Our Regional Samba comes from Minas Gerais, and its profile celebrates the rich chocolate and nut characteristics that are iconic for this region. We source the Samba coffees from a handful of farms in the Carmo de Minas growing area, including Santa Lucia, Santa Ines, Fazenda Furnas and Fazenda Sertão. The smaller screen size of the coffees chosen for this regional lot contributes to the body and texture of the coffee and the affordability of it too, without sacrificing any of the yellow bourbon qualities we expect from a beautiful Brazil natural.
The variety typically used in our Regional Samba is yellow bourbon, as we utilise what is grown across the region and what matches our desired cup profile. Our Regional Samba is harvested from June through to August and has a profile that is sweet and full bodied, with flavours of chocolate, hazelnut, raisin and citrus with hints of earthiness. This lot is perfect for coffees served with milk, whether as a single origin or part of a blend, and its presence in the cup is loud yet harmonious – just like the Samba music.
