A Rare and Exquisite Coffee Experience Crafted by the renowned Daterra farm in Brazil’s Cerrado Mineiro region, Laurina is a truly exceptional coffee celebrated for its refined elegance and rare genetic profile. Also known as Bourbon Pointu, this distinctive variety originates from Réunion Island and is characterized by its small, pointed beans and naturally low caffeine content, making it a unique choice among Arabica coffees.
Grown at 1,200 meters above sea level, Laurina undergoes a meticulously controlled anaerobic fermentation and natural drying process, where fully ripened cherries are left to dry naturally on the tree. This technique enhances the coffee’s sweetness and complexity, yielding a silky-smooth cup with delicate citrus notes of mandarin and yellow fruit, complemented by layers of peach, creamy yogurt, and dulce de leche.
Daterra Coffee – Innovation and Sustainability in Specialty Coffee Daterra Coffee is a leading Brazilian coffee plantation renowned for its innovative and sustainable practices in specialty coffee cultivation. Located in the Cerrado region, Daterra was founded in the 1980s with the mission of redefining coffee production through environmentally responsible methods.
Their farms, situated in Patrocínio, are among the oldest coffee plantations in Brazil’s Cerrado, positioned at an average altitude of over 900 meters, with some areas reaching 1,200 meters. Daterra was the first coffee farm in the world to package its green coffee in sealed vacuum packs, preserving the delicate flavor nuances throughout long overseas journeys.
The farm is also known for its innovative projects, including a collaboration with Zingerman’s Coffee Company to cultivate the Pacamara variety, traditionally not grown in Brazil, demonstrating their dedication to experimentation and quality enhancement.
