About this coffee

Country of origin: Brazil Region : Cerrado Farm : Daterra Processing method: Natural Variety : Mixed Varietals Altitude : 1200 m a.s.l. Cupping score : 87 / 100 THE CUP Expect a silky profile, filing the palate with the sweetness of ripe fig, cherry, and caramel. The elegant complexity we have always loved in Sundrop appears in notes of black tea and lemon. 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 together we have embarked on a Tree Planting programme to help mitigate the effects of climate change. Today, Daterra is officially climate positive and continues to experiment in both farming and processing. ABOUT THE PROCESS Always looking to innovate, for this coffee Daterra uses an adaptation of the natural processing method that makes use of the dry season in Brazil. This lot undergoes a unique process, which begins at the peak of the season when the cherries are full of honey-like moisture. Rather than immediately harvesting mature cherries, cherries are dried while still attached to the branch. Dry conditions at the time of harvest mean that fungus or other defects can be avoided. This multi-stage processing is typical of the care Daterra takes at every step of production and the result is an elegant and sweet coffee with low acidity. ROASTER'S OPINION The sweet taste of Sundrop, from our innovative friends at Daterra. Coffees from Daterra always offer something a little special and Sundrop is no different. When fully ripe, the cherries for this lot are left on the tree, slowly drying under the Brazilian sun. With meticulous control, the Daterra team is able to create a profile with a uniquely sweet character. Store in a cold and dry space.
