What to Expect
This tree-dried natural from Daterra Farm in Brazil's Cerrado region sits somewhere between classic Brazilian chocolate and the fruit-forward character of modern processing. The tree-drying method — where cherries are left to dry on the branch before harvest — concentrates sweetness while keeping the cup cleaner than a conventional natural.
The Cup
The body is medium to heavy, with a creamy, almost syrupy mouthfeel that carries the weight you'd expect from Brazilian coffee. Acidity is moderate and rounded rather than sharp — think pomegranate rather than lemon. The ferment character leans fruity without tipping into funky territory. You'll get cacao and brown sugar as the base, with tropical fruit notes that add brightness without overwhelming the chocolate core. It's a natural process that won't polarise.
Who This Is For
This suits drinkers who want more complexity than a straight chocolate-forward Brazilian but aren't ready to dive into wild, wine-like naturals. It's approachable but not boring.
If you prefer bright, tea-like coffees with high acidity, this will feel too heavy and muted for you.
Best for: Espresso drinkers and French Press fans who like sweetness and body with a fruity edge.
How to Brew This Coffee
Espresso works beautifully here — the medium body and moderate acidity make it forgiving to dial in, and the cacao notes shine through milk. French Press emphasises the creamy texture and lets the tropical fruit character develop fully. Aeropress gives you flexibility to highlight either the chocolate or the fruit depending on your brew time and temperature.

Ways to Brew
-
Espresso
An intense, concentrated brewing method that forces hot water through finely-ground coffee under high pressure. This produces a small, powerful shot with rich crema, serving as the foundation for countless coffee drinks while delivering bold flavors and aromatic complexity.
-
French Press
A French Press (or Cafetiere) is a simple, manual coffee maker that brews rich, full-bodied coffee by steeping coarse grounds in hot water, then separating them by pressing a mesh filter down with a plunger, allowing the coffee's natural oils and sediment to remain for a bolder flavour.
-
Aeropress
An innovative, portable brewing device that uses air pressure to extract coffee quickly and efficiently. This versatile method allows for experimentation with brewing times and techniques, producing anything from espresso-style concentrates to smooth, full-flavored cups with remarkable consistency.
