Daterra
Daterra Coffee, a pioneering coffee farm in Brazil, is renowned for its dedication to sustainable practices and high-quality coffee production. The name “Daterra” translates to “From the earth,” reflecting the company’s deep connection to the land and nature. The farm, established after experimenting with various farming ventures like cattle and avocados, eventually refocused on coffee, recognizing it as a core element of their story.
Founded and led by Luís Norberto Pascoal, a multifaceted entrepreneur, Daterra Coffee stands out for its commitment to creating a product that is both of exceptional quality and sustainably produced. This ethos is evident in their achievements, such as being the first Brazilian farm to receive Rainforest Alliance certification and winning the title of the most sustainable farm by Globo Rural, a prominent agricultural magazine in Brazil, in 2015.
In addition to these accolades, Daterra Coffee has been recognized multiple times for its outstanding coffee. They were a finalist in the Cup of Excellence in 2001, and their coffee was named the best from Brazil by Rainforest Alliance in both 2005 and 2008. Their Espresso Blend was used by World Barista Champions Troels Poulsen and Klaus Thomsen in 2005 and 2006, respectively. Furthermore, in 2008, Illy Café honored Daterra Coffee as a model sustainable farm.
Daterra’s farming practices are founded on continuous research and innovation. Their goal is not just to mitigate the negative impacts of agriculture but also to actively promote earth preservation. This approach is integral to their mission of offering specialty green coffee that respects and nurtures the environment

Dette var overraskende!!!! Lett søt silkemyk og «lett»i smaken som en geisha, men for mange smaker. Tipper på veldig le ikke Etiopisk geisha? Mellom-Amerika. Lukter søt vanilje
This was unexpected! They are the tinyest beans I ever saw, and tasted super juicy and nice!
Wow, this was amazing! Such a distinguished tropical flavour!
Very interesting one. Would have never guessed this as a brasilian coffee. Mainly because the beans are so tiny, they reminded of ethiopian naturals.
What stood out to me is that this coffee ist intensly fruity with no bitterness whatsoever.
Regarding taste profile, red fruits were most dominant for me (Strawberries).
Do these little beans have a Tootsie Roll center?! Tastes like it 😋
One of my favorites in a long time! Complex, fruity, balanced. Loved it!
Love the included comandante recipe! Much appreciated!
