Full-bodied, rounded, and pleasantly sweet—Daterra from Coffee Collective roasters offers a classic yet meticulously crafted Brazilian profile. The cup is dominated by notes of dried fruit and chocolate, complemented by a subtle, balanced sweetness and low acidity. The body is rich, smooth, and very comforting, making this coffee an ideal choice for everyday drip brewing. The result is a harmonious and approachable cup with a long, chocolate-tinged finish that will be appreciated by both beginners and more experienced specialty coffee lovers.
The coffee comes from Brazil’s Cerrado region, specifically from the Daterra farm, which ranks among the country’s most respected producers. Luis N. Pascoal is involved in the production, emphasizing quality, sustainability, and meticulous work with individual lots. The coffee trees grow here at an elevation of 900–1,200 meters above sea level, where the stable climate allows for even ripening of the cherries and a consistent flavor profile typical of Brazilian coffees.
Processing is done using the natural method, in which whole coffee cherries are dried without removing the pulp, which promotes the development of sweet, full-bodied notes and contributes to a denser body. Drying is carefully monitored to preserve the purity and stability of the resulting profile. The final flavor is also shaped by a blend of Yellow Catuaí, Arara, and Paraíso varieties, which provide a balance between sweetness, subtle fruitiness, and chocolate notes. This results in a balanced, sweet, and well-structured cup ideal for drip brewing.
