Brazil – NY 2/3 Scr 17/18 SS GC

This is a Brazilian Arabica green coffee lot graded as NY 2/3 with screen 17/18, described as Strictly Soft Good Cup. It’s a practical, versatile coffee with a clean cup profile and a naturally sweet, easy-going character.

NY 2/3 is a green coffee grading reference used in trading to indicate a relatively clean preparation standard. Screen 17/18 refers to a larger bean size range, which many roasters like for consistent airflow and even development during roasting.

Strictly Soft Good Cup is a cup description often used for Brazilian coffees grown at lower altitudes, where the profile tends to be smoother and rounder. In the cup, that usually shows up as comfortingly sweet flavours, gentle acidity, and a creamy, satisfying texture.

This lot is listed as a blend of coffees from various regions and estates in Brazil rather than a single named farm. That approach is commonly used to create a steady, repeatable profile that works well across different brew methods and roast styles.

It’s grown between around 500 and 1,200 metres above sea level. Lower-altitude coffees often develop a softer acidity and a fuller body, which is why this style is popular for espresso, milk drinks and everyday filter brewing.

This coffee includes a mix of widely grown Brazilian varieties, including Bourbon, Catimor, Catuai, Catucai, Caturra and Mundo Novo. That combination helps balance sweetness, body and clarity, making the lot flexible for blending or single-origin use.

It’s naturally processed, meaning the coffee is dried in the fruit before the parchment is milled out. Natural processing is a big reason you can expect extra sweetness and fruit character alongside a richer mouthfeel.

Look for a clean cup with citrusy sweet orange, honey and cherry fruit, backed up by a creamy body. Depending on roast level, those flavours can lean from bright-and-sweet into a more rounded, chocolate-leaning comfort cup.

It’s an easy fit for espresso, especially if you like sweetness and a creamy texture, and it pairs nicely with milk. It also works well for filter and batch brew when you want a smooth, approachable cup that still has lift from the citrus and fruit notes.

You can choose green beans, or select a roast profile through the Roast For You options. Roast For You roasting follows the 6kg minimum green weight per single origin, so it’s best suited to trade orders or larger batches where you want a consistent roast plan.

For green coffee, store it cool and dry, away from sunlight and strong odours, ideally sealed in the original bag or an airtight, food-safe container. For roasted coffee, keep it at room temperature in an airtight bag or tin and use it within a sensible time frame to keep the sweetness, fruit notes and creamy body at their best.
