Brazil Daterra Sweet Blue SOLD OUT!

Brazil Daterra Sweet Blue

This is a little different from our previous highlighted coffees for a few reasons.  Firstly, it is a blend.  Daterra offers blended green coffee formulated to taste.  Secondly, compared to our previous selections this one comes from a giant conglomerate.  Daterra has 100 years of experience with coffee in many regions of Brazil and is well established and respected world wide.  Lastly, we are roasting this one with espresso in mind.  Many recent World Barista Champions and challengers have used Daterra blends and we can see why.

Here is Daterra's Flash intensive and bird friendly website. 

Tasting Notes

Sweet citrus upon first sip.  Fuller body as is typical with most Brazils, yet it has a very delicate clean finish.  One of us mentioned tea biscuits which is pretty right on.  Could drink this coffee all day long!  Great shot!

Roaster Notes

Daterra is a huge supplier of Brazilian coffee and grows Rainforest Alliance.  We hadn't tried a RFA in a while so this was a good pick.
