What to Expect
This Brazilian from Daterra delivers the classic chocolate-and-caramel profile Brazil is known for, with a smooth, approachable character that works across the board. It's a natural process, but don't expect the funky, fruit-forward intensity you'd find in an Ethiopian natural — this one stays clean and sweet, leaning into cocoa, nuts, and vanilla rather than berry or booze.
The Cup
Full-bodied and round, with the kind of mouthfeel that feels substantial without being heavy. Acidity is gentle and unobtrusive — it's there to balance the sweetness, not to dominate. The natural process adds a layer of sweetness and body, but the cup stays clean and straightforward. No ferment character to speak of. This is a coffee that prioritises drinkability over complexity.
Who This Is For
If you want a reliable, easy-drinking coffee that tastes good with milk and doesn't demand precision brewing, this is a solid choice. It's forgiving, versatile, and won't polarise anyone at the breakfast table.
If you're chasing bright acidity, floral notes, or experimental funk, this won't scratch that itch.
Best for: Espresso drinkers and milk-coffee lovers who want sweetness and body without fuss.
How to Brew This Coffee
It shines as espresso — the full body and low acidity make it easy to dial in, and it's particularly good with milk. French press emphasises the round, chocolatey body and brings out the caramel sweetness. Aeropress offers flexibility — brew it strong for an espresso-style shot or dilute for a clean, balanced filter-style cup.

Ways to Brew
-
Espresso
Coffees hand-picked for espresso, chosen by analysing each one's roast, body and flavour rather than relying on the roaster's label. These are beans with the sweetness, depth and structure to pull a rich, balanced shot under pressure, from chocolatey blends to fruit-forward single origins. Every coffee here earned its place by how it actually performs in the basket. New to pulling shots? Read our espresso brewing basics.
-
French Press
A collection of coffees matched to full-immersion brewing, where a metal filter lets body and oils come through in full. We've analysed each one for the weight and richness that suit the press, giving you bold, textured, deeply satisfying cups. If you like your coffee full-bodied, these beans are chosen for you. New to it? See our guide to French press brewing.
-
Aeropress
A curated range of coffees suited to the Aeropress, selected on their own merits through our attribute analysis. We look for the clarity and balance this fast, pressure-assisted method rewards, so whether you brew short and concentrated or long and clean, each bean here is chosen to give you a bright, well-defined cup.
