Daterra, meaning "From the Earth," is a renowned Brazilian coffee grower and exporter known for its dedication to quality and sustainability. Located in the Cerrado region, Daterra benefits from ideal conditions for growing Arabica. This region has a stable climate with cool, dry winters and hot, humid summers, perfect conditions for producing high-quality coffee.

Founded in 1976, Daterra has always placed a strong emphasis on sustainability and the use of advanced technologies to improve the quality of coffee. Their mission is to produce excellent coffee in a sustainable way, respecting the environment and local communities. This innovative approach has made Daterra a reference in the world of specialty coffee.

Daterra's harvesting process is carefully designed to ensure the highest quality. Coffee cherries are picked directly from the trees after they have dried naturally on the branches. This method allows for cherries with an optimal level of ripeness and sweetness. After harvesting, the cherries are laid out to dry on patios, where they are continuously turned to ensure even drying. The coffee is then taken to drum dryers to complete the drying process in a controlled manner.

This meticulous and environmentally friendly process produces a coffee with a velvety body, strawberry flavor, and sparkling lactic acidity. The result is a wonderfully balanced and complex cup of coffee that reflects Daterra's dedication to quality and sustainability.
