Rob says: With this Daterra coffee it feels like we are going back in time. At one point this renowned company brought the new gold to the market, and World Barista Championships were won with their coffees. Over the years Daterra practices lost a bit of its shine with too many new initiatives in Brazil, South America and other regions. 

But with this great 2023 Brazilian crop, stocked at Seabridge warehouse, and Cuprima importers more active than ever, we thought it to be time to check out where Daterra stands now, in terms of service and quality. 

We cupped seven Daterra lots, all different in variety or processing.  This Summer Solstice lot came out in the lead, with fruity notes and a balanced profile. We see this coffee as a prime espresso selection but certainly tasty on filter as well, which is rarely seen in Brazilian beans. Thumbs up and a big thank you to both Daterra and Efico, Cuprima’s mother company, for their long lasting partnership, professional approach and thus fantastic coffee. 

THIS COFFEE IS PLANNED TO HIT OUR WAREHOUSES BY MARCH 2023
