Bela Vista sits in the rolling Cerrado/Minas Gerais belt where even ripening and meticulous wet milling shaped Brazil’s reputation for clean, reliable cups. This washed lot takes a dark roast gracefully: extended Maillard pushes chocolate into a fudgy, bittersweet register while caramelized sugars read as molasses and toffee. The profile settles on toasted‑walnut and almond warmth through the mid‑palate, carried by a heavy, coating body. Acidity drops to a soft hum, and the cup resolves neatly with dark‑cocoa and nut persistence. Careful screen grading and tight dry milling support an even, polished extraction—comforting, dessert‑leaning, and composed.

Brothers Ednilson and Ednilson Jr. Dutra have stewarded Fazenda Dutra since the 1950s, turning it into one of Brazil’s flagship organic estates. Their hillsides in Minas Gerais mix native forest with coffee, fostering biodiversity and slow, even ripening. This screen 14/16 natural is patio‑dried under careful rotation to build sweetness without muddiness. A measured medium roast shapes a milk‑chocolate and caramel core, layered with hazelnut and a subtle dried‑cherry note often linked to well‑managed naturals. Acidity stays low and polished, the texture silky and rounded, and the finish resolves clean with cocoa‑nut echoes—refined comfort backed by estate precision.

Daterra helped define Brazil’s modern estate model—lot mapping, selective picking, and painstaking dry‑/wet‑mill control. Their “Pearl Bourbon” earmarks peaberry selections from Bourbon blocks where single‑seeded cherries concentrate sugars and roast with exceptional evenness. At a measured medium, Maillard development draws out milk‑chocolate and caramel while preserving a clear Bourbon fruit line—think roasted almond and a delicate dried‑apricot accent. Cerrado Mineiro’s warm days and cool nights steady ripening and keep acidity low and polished. The mouthfeel lands notably silky and cohesive, and the finish carries a clean cocoa‑nut echo—refined comfort with estate‑grade precision in every sip.

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.

In the late 1980s Daterra reimagined Brazilian estate coffee—mapping plots, cataloging varieties, and dialed milling—to chase sweetness and consistency. “Sweet Yellow” draws on yellow‑variety selections (often Yellow Bourbon/Catuai) that naturally carry higher soluble sugars. A medium–dark curve extends Maillard to deepen chocolate into a fudgy core and transform cane sweetness into toffee and praline, while pulped‑natural prep preserves a remarkably clean line. Cerrado’s plateau climate—dry harvests, cool nights—keeps acidity low and even, and the body turns syrupy and cohesive. Expect a long, chocolate‑caramel trail and a polished finish that reflects Daterra’s estate precision from field to bag.

Pink Bourbon emerged in Huila in the early 2000s—likely a natural cross—spreading farmer‑to‑farmer as cuppers prized its florals and red‑fruit sparkle. Grown on steep, volcanic slopes with dramatic day–night swings, cherries develop high sweetness and crisp structure. Washed processing clarifies the varietal’s aromatics; a measured medium roast sets a honey‑caramel core and cocoa foundation while preserving berry and citrus zest at the top. The texture lands silky and cohesive, acidity reads lively but polished, and the finish carries a clean floral‑citrus echo. It’s a modern Colombian signature: expressive fruit, anchored sweetness, and tidy, confident balance in the cup.

The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta—an isolated coastal massif rising from sea level to snowy peaks—has sheltered indigenous farming for millennia. Coffee took root on its flanks in the 19th century; today, Organic Fair Trade cooperatives steward shade canopies, spring water, and slow patio drying that preserve sweetness and clarity. Pushed to a medium–dark curve, this lot builds a fudge‑like chocolate core, turns cane sugars to toffee and praline, and settles into roasted‑almond warmth. Acidity stays low and even thanks to cool nights; texture is velvety and cohesive. Expect a steady, chocolate‑sweet finish that feels polished and confidently balanced.
