Brazil: Sweet Yellow, Daterra Estate

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.
