Salvador Gross has been growing coffee at El Paraiso since 1960. Under his leadership the plantation has moved away from traditional methods of growing and processing. During his 58 years as a grower and producer, Salvador has seen the highs and lows; from the highs of coffee prices via the frosts that impacted Brazil to the more recent outbreak of coffee leaf rust. At 83 years of age he keeps his eyes set on producing stunning coffees, embracing what the future holds for his farm and family. Expect flavours of dark fruits and Brazil nut, a big body with a lingering finish.

Produced by Salvador Gross, El Paraiso represents a distinct offering from Brazil. This selection, brought to market by Five Senses, highlights the classic profile often associated with the region, characterized by the roaster’s notes of dark fruits and Brazil nut. While coffees from this origin frequently exhibit a balanced, nutty sweetness, the specific nuances of this lot invite a closer examination of its sensory profile.

When evaluating such profiles, enthusiasts often consult a flavor wheel to better articulate the interplay between deep fruit tones and the foundational nuttiness typical of the area. Understanding the producer's role in cultivation is essential to appreciating how these specific characteristics are developed. By focusing on the interplay between the producer's craft and the inherent qualities of the harvest, one can gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity found within this particular Brazilian coffee.
