new granite kitchen

   We are building a new home and (http://maplered.com) have decided on Granite (http://tanbrown.org) for the kitchen. Does anyone have information on a "Granite (http://tanbrown.org) " called Ebb tide? I believe it's from Brazil. The porosity is my main concern.

   Unfortunatly, we will not be able to choose the fabricator but will be able to choose the slab. Installing it after we move in is not an option from a budget factor. We have to roll it into the mortgage.

    Many thanks,
