For the past couple of weeks we have focused on Single Estate coffees roasted by the excellent Monmouth Coffee Company in all our espresso based drinks. So far we have enjoyed Gethumbwini Estate from Kenya which provided a rich fruity espresso with heavy body and a very sweet finish and Finca Las Lajas from Costa Rica with mild honey sweetness and chocolate undertones. To continue with our use of single estate coffees we sampled a variety of coffees over the last two weeks and (without conferring or swapping notes) we both chose Fazenda Daterra as our absolute favourite.
A little background from Monmouth on this very special coffee:
Fazenda Daterra is one of the most progressive and influential farms in Brasil. Luis Norberto Pascoal and his team dedicate their time and effort to developing the farm sustainably and producing the highest quality coffee. The Reserve Special is the culmination of the team’s work and is considered to be the best grade of coffee from one year’s crop. The coffees that go into the Reserve Special are selected by the cuppers as the sweetest and most balanced coffees. Daterra have developed their own quality control systems from seedling to warehousing that are being emulated around the coffee growing world. We are delighted to have this coffee back on our counter after a number of years, but we have a limited amount and it will only be available for a few weeks. For more information about Daterra please see daterra.com.br.
As you can imagine from the write up above, this week we feel especially fortunate and excited to offer Fazenda Daterra in all our espresso based drinks and hope you will come down and visit the stall tomorrow to join us in appreciating this highly prized coffee.
