First roast Monday 11th July, then every fortnight thereafter.

It's that time again! Each year our heroes at Daterra launch their Masterpieces - a series of rare and experimantal coffees grown and processed on the farm. This year we are delighted to have secured an absolute stunner - a blend of laurina and aramosa processed by way of natural anaerobic fermentation. In the cup it is wild, tropical and complex, reminding us of kiwi and orange wine, with a beautiful hoppy finish.

Laurina and aramosa are coveted for their complex flavour profiles, and also for the fact that they are naturally low in caffeine. Caffeine is a natural insecticide, so its absence makes them particularly difficult and low-yielding varieties to grow. On the flip side, caffeine’s absence is thought to contribute to their remarkable sweetness and clarity in the cup.

The cherries are hand-picked at peak ripeness, then fermented inside a tank with a valve system that prevents gas from entering. As the cherries ferment, they release CO2, which pushes the lighter oxygen out through the valve, creating an environment that is completely anaerobic, and triggering a series of enzymatic reactions that are only possible in such conditions. Once the fermentation is complete, the coffee is laid out to dry in the sunshine on raised beds

We have a very limited amount of this incredible coffee, so if you would like to secure some make sure you order soon. First roasts will be on 11th July, for dispatch on 12th July, then every fortnight thereafter until we're all out.
