From the producer

Daterra is owned by Luis Norberto Pascoal, a visionary in the coffee industry who continuously refines his production methods to enhance both coffee quality and social-environmental standards.

From the roaster

The roaster notes owner Luis Pascoal's visionary work at Daterra, citing quality improvements and innovative packaging techniques.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Daterra’s “Sundrop” method lets cherries mature beyond the usual picking point before raised-bed drying, creating a distinctive full-bodied expression of a traditional natural process.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Verified the release

Confirmed Daterra, Cerrado, Luis Norberto Pascoal, Red and Yellow Bourbon, the July–August 2025 harvest and 3,600–3,900-foot range.

Documented Sundrop processing

Recorded the roaster’s on-tree extended maturation and raised-bed finish without inventing a fermentation or drying duration.

Recorded roast, price and use

Added the $26 price, Medium roast and the roaster’s Drip, Pour Over and Espresso guidance.

Separated historical sentiment

Removed earlier-release discussions from exact-current-release status and left the 2025 release unscored.

What was added?

Current price and sold-out state, harvest window, Field Blend link, detailed Sundrop process wording, four editorial sections and explicit evidence limits.

What wasn't added?

No formal grade, point elevation, fermentation details, drying duration, roast date or current-release public rating was inferred.

Why it matters

Sundrop describes a specific extended-maturation and drying approach; the page now explains it precisely while keeping earlier-release consumer commentary separate from the 2025 lot.

What you might taste

Blueberry fruit over dark caramel sweetness with clove-like spice and a full body, according to George Howell.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
