Daterra are true visionaries. Since their founding, they have been totally committed to a sustainable model of production. Five years ago, Daterra invited us to take ownership of 1 hectares of beautiful Aramosa coffee plants. Together, we are seeking to elevate coffee production techniques. Only six roasters worldwide were chosen by Daterra to join their initiative. This season, we selected a superb naturally processed lot, featuring rare Aramosa beans. Aramosa is a low caffeine varietal which contains approximately 50% the caffeine of a regular arabica bean.

THE CUP

We chose this naturally processed lot for the delicious notes of fruit, with grape, dried strawberry, and fruit candy. The juicy quality is something we rarely see in Brazilian coffee, displaying the remarkable quality that Daterra are known for.

ABOUT THE FARM

Daterra are pioneers in their field: committed to pushing the boundaries in coffee production, with a dedicated approach to both quality and sustainability. They were the first Rainforest Alliance certified coffee farm in Brazil and the only B Corp certified coffee producer in the world. For us, working with producers is an exciting journey and our close relationship with Daterra has allowed us to push the limits of coffee sourcing.

We have committed to plant 40,000 native trees over the next 5 years on 25 hectares of land. The trees will be planted, nurtured, and managed by Daterra for at least 10 years. Our forest will grow on their estate in Cerrado, Brazil, and will be managed by their expert team. Our forest project is the most valuable sustainability project we have ever done. We invite you to be part of our most valuable sustainability project yet. Let us grow a forest together!

THE PROCESS

Our assessment of coffees from Our Plot included a variety of processes, with different fermentation times, layer density, and sugar levels. For this naturally processed lot, the cherries are first sorted then slowly dried on raised beds. In the warmth of the Brazilian sun, the outer layer of fruit surrounding the bean slowly loses moisture, imparting rich, fruity flavour to the coffee within. The Daterra team closely monitor moisture levels and sugar content to control the process, creating a profile with complex flavour and clarity.
