About this Product
A bright, fruit-forward Brazilian — the kind that makes people double-check the bag. Sweet is built around Daterra's Stardust lot: Yellow Bourbon, grown at 1,150m in the Cerrado and dried right on the tree.
The farm — Daterra, Cerrado
Daterra is a 6,400-hectare estate near Patrocínio, Minas Gerais. Half the land is left as native forest. The rest is divided into small "minifarms" of 5–15 hectares so every block can be tended, picked and processed on its own. They've been at it since the 70s, helped pioneer vacuum-sealed green coffee in 2003, and quietly set the bar for traceable specialty coffee in Brazil. Rainforest Alliance certified.
The lot — Stardust
Yellow Bourbon variety, 1,150m, processed as a tree-dried natural. The cherries are left to ripen and dry on the branch before they're picked — months longer on the tree than usual. It needs steady weather and a lot of patience, but it concentrates sugars in a way wet processing can't touch.
How to drink it
- Filter / V60 — best showcase. The clementine jumps out, the peach rounds it off.
- Espresso — pulls thick and syrupy, more jam than fruit.
- With milk — works, but you'll trade some of the brightness for a softer, sweeter cup.
