Daterra is the world’s first B Corp certified farm and carbon negative farm. With 50% of their massive 6400 hectares of land dedicated to environmental preservation, sustainability and impact are at the forefront of everything they do. Daterra also focuses on water conservation, solar-power generation and waste reduction as well as education, research, and genetic experimentation. Over 500 hectares of their land is involved in research projects and experiments which develop new varieties with properties of increased yield, drought tolerance and disease resistance.The World Coffee Research institute estimates that 50% of all coffee growing land will no longer be viable by the year 2050, and Daterra knows well that the very existence of coffee depends on fighting climate change and becoming more climate resistant.
Daterra have created a coffee menu, a creative approach to planning each coffee offering around a profile, rather than process and variety. Summer Solstice is designed each year to have a round and structured body with intense notes of tropical and citric fruits, honey-like sweetness and malic acidity. This particular lot of Summer Solstice is made up of Paraiso, Yellow Catuai and Arara varieties and is processed as a tree-dried natural to achieve that desired profile and a cup score of 88 points!
Tree-dried natural processing is unique to the Cerrado region, so much so that it is often known as the Cerrado process. During this process, the cherries are left on the tree for an extended period, allowing them to go through the full maturation and drying process while still on the branch. The result of this is increased complexity, body and sweetness. This process couldn’t work in many places, but Cerrado’s very dry, warm and stable climate provides the ideal conditions.
