We’re excited about the opportunity to showcase a producer that puts so much emphasis on giving back to the coffee community and the planet. Founded in the 80’s when sustainability was virtually unknown, the Daterra Coffee Project continues to be centered around social development and environmental preservation.
Daterra’s land is broken up into a series of 216 mini farms ranging from 5-15 hectares each. Each of the terroirs on the farm are harvested individually, based on their optimal cherry maturation. The cherry are picked and sorted using unique technology that ensures that each cherry is sorted correctly, a technology that took them over 10 years to develop.
This coffee got it’s name because of its resemblance to a small pearl, it is a peaberry which is when the coffee seed develops only one small round seed instead of two.
Pearl offers all the classic, approachable flavours in the cup that we would expect and love from a Brazilian coffee. The terroir, variety and processing method all contribute to its nutty and sweet profile.
