Produced by Daterra in the Cerrado region, this Brazil Summer Solstice lot showcases the distinct profile of a tree-dried natural process. While natural-processed coffees are often celebrated for their heavy body and intense sweetness, this specific method allows the cherry to dehydrate while still attached to the branch, concentrating sugars before harvest. Roasted by Dear Green Coffee, the cup presents a complex interplay of cacao, pomegranate, and tropical fruits.

When evaluating such profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to identify the nuances between the deep, earthy base notes of cacao and the bright, acidic top notes of pomegranate. This selection highlights the innovative agricultural practices currently defining the Brazilian specialty landscape, offering a sophisticated take on the traditional regional character. By allowing the fruit to dry on the tree, Daterra achieves a unique balance that distinguishes this lot from standard washed or mechanically dried counterparts.
