"Hello Everyone,

Ok, here we go again…..We keep finding new coffees that keep blowing me away. Fratello has a new Brazilian coffee, exclusive to us in Canada that you need to try. Daterra is an extraordinary producer who’s plantations are located in the Cerrado region (State of Minas Gerais) and in the Mogiana region (State of São Paulo). They were also the first to introduce Rainforest Alliance in Brazil.

Brazilian Daterra Sweet Blue – Rainforest Alliance – Micro Lot: Gives us sweet chocolate and syrupy orange aromas which followed through into the cup. A thick mouth feel with dark chocolate almond flavors. This is a very balanced coffee which had an acidity and sweetness that reminded me of a Kenyan coffee. Cupping Score: 90.

Daterra is a coffee grower and exporter best known for its innovative research, its respect for the environment, social responsibility and its high quality coffee. Daterra is by no means a small coffee producer; however, they are very well known for the quality of coffee they produce. This is evident when looking at a few of their awards:

Cup of Excellence finalist in 2001;
Best coffee from Brazil on the cupping for Quality by Rainforest Alliance in 2005 and 2008;
Espresso Blend used by World Barista Champion Troels Poulsen in 2005;
Espresso Blend used by World Barista Champion Klaus Thomsen in 2006;
Sustainable farm model by Illy Cafè in 2008
Four out of the six WBC finalists used Daterra coffee in their blends in 2008.
Daterra has a “Penta Pack®” packaging system (vacuum packaging) patented internationally. This was used to ship Brazil's Cup of Excellence winner lots in 2006 and 2008.
Look at attached photos to see the Penta Pack packaging

This will be available to purchase in the next week or so once we have finished profiling this coffee on our roasters.
