Launched as a seasonal estate selection, Summer Solstice captures Daterra’s early-harvest sweetness and meticulous lot curation. In Cerrado Mineiro’s plateau climate—dry harvests, cool nights, and long daylight—cherries ripen evenly, preserving floral–citrus volatiles while building soluble sugars. Daterra’s pulped‑natural approach protects clarity yet keeps the caramel depth Brazil is loved for. A light–medium roast preserves lemon zest and wildflower honey up top, adds a soft peach/apricot lift, and sets everything on a gentle cocoa–caramel backbone. Acidity is lively but clean, the body silky and cohesive, and the finish glows with a citrus–honey resonance that feels refreshing and poised.

Guji’s high forests helped shape coffee’s earliest cultivation; families here still handpick at altitude and deliver cherries to community mills like Buku Sayisa for meticulous Grade 1 prep. Raised‑bed drying under thin shade preserves floral volatiles and a citrus–honey line while slow night air tightens structure. Kept at light–medium, the roast protects top‑end aroma yet builds a gentle caramel base: lemon zest and sweet citrus glide over red‑berry and stone‑fruit hints, with jasmine and wildflower in the nose. Acidity is lively but clean, texture lands silky and tea‑like, and the finish is bright‑sweet with blossom and citrus that linger with poise.

Tanzania’s peaberry selections isolate single‑seeded beans prized for focused acidity and even roasting, often sourced from Northern Highlands factories near Kilimanjaro/Arusha or Southern Highlands stations in Mbeya and Mbozi. Classic washed processing—careful fermentation, thorough washing, and raised‑bed drying—preserves clarity and honeyed sweetness. Kept at a medium–light roast, the cup shows lemon–grapefruit zest and black‑tea structure over a cane‑honey core, with red‑currant/berry lift and a touch of florals. Acidity reads bright and precise but composed; body lands silky and tea‑like. Expect a clean, persistent finish where citrus and black‑tea notes linger around gentle sweetness—articulate, refreshing, and tidy.
