Daterra Estate is a world-famous Brazilian farm where coffee is produced with only the finest quality and commitment to sustainability. Thus, it’s no surprise that Rainforest Alliance has certified all Daterra Farms coffees since 2003. In recent years, Daterra became the first farm in the world to achieve the RFA’s highest-ranking––meaning their efforts in serving forests, the climate, human rights, and livelihoods are unmatched. Some of the many actions Daterra Farm takes include boosting carbon storage, preventing deforestation, and increasing greenhouse gasses.
Cupping Notes: Moderate acidity, balanced cup and superb aroma. The lighter roast is very syrupy and sweet with a strong almond character. Medium to medium-dark roasts bring out spicy and intense dark cocoa notes that taste like an elegant spicy chocolate bar.
Try before you stock up with a 1/2 pound sample!
Cupping Notes: Blueberry, chocolate, strawberry, floral, clean, consistent, balanced, bright lemony sweetness.

I generally like the profile of Brazillian beans. To that end I have purchased four different Brazillians over the last few months. This one is easily my favorite. It roasts consistently with typical temps and times. The nutty and chocolate flavors along with a very nice crema are the highlights for me.

I wrote a review on my enjoying this coffee in March 2022. I just received another 20 lbs. that I ordered from Coffee Bean Corral. Their packaging, shipping times, shipping costs, and responsiveness are all top-rate. Definitely have become my go-to place for green coffee beans

Roasted to 30 seconds into second crack and that seems to be the best for me. Chocolate notes are strong and a smooth buttery finish. Excellent for espresso.

Brazil beans are one of my favorites. I personally found this one to be one of my favorites so far. I tried it in a light roast, medium roast and a dark roast. All were great. I've been drinking the medium roast in a French press with a few of the dark roast beans mixed in. I find it to have a nutty, earthy, dark chocolate taste. It's become my go to cup in the morning. I will be ordering more of this for sure. CBC is a fantastic company with excellent customer service and fast shipping. Thank you CBC!!

I roast this one to 145F in my Behmore and it has become my all- time favorite. Very well balanced with just the right amount of acid to bring it to life. Spicy with great chocolate flavors. I highly recommend this one!

Enjoyed the smell, rich flavor and smooth finish.

Thank you Coffee Bean Corral. From around 2000-2007, Blue de Brasil was a favorite coffee of mine. And then it disappeared. It is great to see it back, albeit with a slightly different name. It is still the same color and great taste. I like it best just past a full city roast. I have had several people accuse me of adding some chocolate to the cup.

Was a bit lighter than I was expecting for a blue.. but still a good cup of joe.
by Sara on January 9, 2022
Much lighter than I expected based on the Matrix. I roasted it to City Brew, maybe I'll try it past second crack as recommended by others. It's okay, but doesn't live up to the expectations.

The raw beans really are blue. I roasted them to medium-dark. On my roaster, that's 12 minutes at 200 C, and then five minutes at 240 C. I brewed it in my Bialetti and shared it with two of my friends/test subjects. It yielded a rich smooth arabica flavor with notes of spicy chocolate. The consensus was that it was absolutely delicious. You DON'T want to miss out on this selection! In designing my label, I searched the internet for a picture of a chocolate bar.

Now, what do I do with all the other coffee you've sold me? This one just blew the doors off. Independent source, no blending necessary or desired. Really nice coffee. Any danger of seasonally running out of it?

Very smooth, roasted to full city in a gene cafe. Used for espresso, in rancillio Silvia. Produced rich crema.
by ice2morrow on August 10, 2021
Good flavor, great mixture of nuttiness/fruitiness. Medium roasted with a Behmor and brewed in a french press. Makes a great morning cup of coffee
by Julie on February 14, 2021
Makes for a smooth cup of coffee. This was our first attempt at roasting at home (using a whirley pop) and we call it a success. Did a medium roast as that's our normal preference. Good classic coffee flavor with hints of chocolate and sweetness as drip, pour over, and espresso.
by Gary Shaw on October 12, 2020
Likes to be roasted a little on the light side. But can also work for a darker roast for espresso. Overall very good
by Phil on October 21, 2018
Excellent! Very smooth with good sweetness. Almonds are prevalent. Medium roast is the best.
by Rocco on September 27, 2018
Obviously a very high quality bean, makes a very nice, classic tasting espresso all by itself, or can function as an excellent base for blending.
by Phil on September 12, 2018
Roasted to just before second crack and totally enjoyed the classic taste with a hint of almond and chocolate. This is definitely a favorite!
by QUINCY on August 8, 2018
A very tasty classic coffee. My NESCO roaster is set on 25 for a perfect dark roast. The thing is piping hot or counter cold this is really good.
by Ken on July 18, 2018
Tried roasting this bean in 3 different roast. Light roast just after first crack had a floral almost tea taste. Medium roast had a fruity flavor and the third roast 40 seconds after 2nd crack was best to me. It was smooth and just a good classic taste. Roasted in a behmor 1600 plus.
by miketcl3cats on January 8, 2018
Strong. Smooth. Syrupy. Classic coffee taste. Great crema as an espresso.
