About this coffee

Located in the Cerrado region of Minas Gerais, Boa Vista Farm is part of the Daterra group, one of Brazil’s most respected producers, renowned for consistency, innovation and quality.

The Cerrado benefits from particularly stable climatic conditions, with dry winters, warm summers and an average altitude of 1,150 metres. These factors allow for even cherry maturation and excellent cup consistency. The characteristic red latosol soils of the region contribute to the coffee’s structure and depth.

Daterra is a pioneer in sustainable coffee production in Brazil and was among the first farms supported by Rainforest Alliance. Their approach combines responsible farming practices with advanced technology and long-term environmental commitment.

This Red Bourbon is processed using the pulped natural method: the skin is mechanically removed while part of the mucilage remains during drying. This technique enhances sweetness and produces a dense, creamy espresso with excellent balance.

In the cup, the profile is clean and well structured. Chocolate and hazelnut form a rich, comforting base, complemented by ripe fruit notes and a gentle orange acidity that adds freshness without overpowering the balance. A precise and elegant espresso, equally enjoyable on its own or in milk-based drinks.
