Falling within Brazils famous Cerrado that makes up nearly 23% of the entire country, Daterra are the world’s first grade A rainforest certified farm of any business, and a walk around the trees will reveal a stunning array of birds and wildlife, from toucans and burrowing owls to squirrel monkeys and maned wolves. Over 60% of the land they own is given over to nature reserves. The farm itself is split into many lots, each with a designated agronomist to care for the particular varietal and aspect each lot can define. With over 100 different varietals on their farms, development is tracked and planting paired with appropriate varietals.
Picking occurs typically with 40-60% ripe coffee on the tree, with 5% green, 10% underripe, and the rest tree dried. Each brings its own unique characteristics to a coffee, so a sample is picked, processed and roasted to check taste is as expected before the order is given to pick the specific lot. Sorting is done on a specially adapted wet mill, first with density sorting that removes overripe cherries, then with the drier and natural beans being sorted from the ripes, underripes and greens. Pulped raisins are the slightly drier ripe beans, adding a little more sweetness to the cup, and requiring mechanical pulping rather than the modified waterjet pulping the softer beans receive. They get separated with the tree dried naturals, and first sorted by size to carefully separate each stage. Beans are then briefly dried on the patio before being finished in a Guardiola to ensure precise moisture levels throughout.
Each finished lot is tasted for exact flavour profiles before blending if required for each type. For Santa Colomba this is caramelized sugar, ripe fruits, with a delicate acidity. Once complete, beans are then size, density, and triple colour sorted before packing in to Penta bags ready for shipping.

The is our new decaffeinated offering from our partners Cafe Imports under it's 'Origin Select', it is Sugarcane EA processed, rather than the usual Swiss Water Process. These coffees are sourced green by Café Imports prior to decaffeination, breaking from the industry norm. By doing this, they can provide the highest quality water and E.A. (sugar cane) processed products available.
This lot is chosen from among lots brought by several smallholder growers in the region of La Plata. Whilst Huila is naturally blessed with optimal coffee growing geography, the key to great quality coffees from the La Plata region (such as this lot) are the growers themselves. Coffee farming within the region is overwhelmingly small-scale. Indeed, approximately 80% of producers from the region farm coffee on less than 3 hectares of land. These small farms are tended by individual families with labour only very rarely being contracted out, which
leads to more thorough and intensive management practices and great pride in the final product – which is, itself, an extension of the family.
TASTE: CHERRY, CHOCOLATE AND CITRUS. MEDIUM BODY AND MEDIUM ACIDITY.
SMOOTH AND EASY DRINKING.

The Layo Taraga Cooperative is situated in the Uraga district of Oromia.
Uraga is one of the woredas (Subcity) in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Guji Zone, Uraga is bordered on the south by Odo Shakiso, on the west by the Borena Zone, on the north by the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region, and on the east by Bore. The Oromia Regional State has more than 65% of the country’s total coffee growing land.
Layo Tarage is a member of Oromia Coffee Farmers’ Cooperative Union (OCFCU) which is one of the largest coffee unions in Ethiopia, established on 1st June 1999. OCFU pays 70% of its net profit back to the cooperatives, who in turn pay 70% of these profits to the member farmers. They also provide loans to their members and Layo Teraga have received finance for improvements such as tiled fermentation tanks and storage sheds at the washing station.
Coffee is shade grown on one-hectare plots of land by approx. 500 members. During the harvest members deliver their coffee cherry to the washing station where it is sorted before being depulped. It is then fermented for 8 – 12 hours, where any remaining mucilage is broken down. Afterwards coffee is washed in channels, soaked and dried on African beds for 10 – 14 days until it reaches an 11% moisture content.

This coffee represents various smallholder farmers, each of whom owns an average of 2 hectares within the Oriente region, specifically the municipalities of Jalapa, Jutiapa, Santa Rosa, Zacapa, and Chiquimula. The farms are made of predominantly clay soil and sit nearby the Ayarza Lake.
Coffees are picked ripe and dried on patios for 20–23 days for this Natural lot,
What makes Guatemalan coffees so unique is its high altitudes, diverse microclimates, consistent rainfall patterns, and excellent cultivation and processing, hence producing a variety of distinctive types of Guatemalan Arabica coffees.
New Oriente is one of the oldest coffee growing regions in Guatemala. The region is in eastern Guatemala along the border with Honduras. In the 1980s, responding to the increasing demand for specialty coffee, the region took off.
These days virtually every mountain back yard is a coffee farm. Located over what was once a volcanic range, its soil is made from metamorphic rock. This makes it balanced in minerals and very different from Guatemala’s volcanic regions, which have all seen volcanic activity since coffee was first planted.
The climate, clay and metamorphic volcanic soils result in high quality coffee with a distinct acidity and good body. Nuevo Oriente coffee grows at elevations from 4,300 feet to 5,500 feet above sea level where the rainfall averages about 1,900 mm each year and temperatures range from 18 to 25 degrees Celsius (64 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit).
