How to Brew our Brazil Daterra Guara

We’re excited to share our recipe for this Brazil Daterra Guara with you!

Though Brazil is the highest coffee producing country in the world, very little of the coffee produced is “specialty grade.” Daterra focuses on creating this specialty grade coffee to showcase the unique terroir that Brazil can offer. The Anaerobic Guara is part of what is named the “Masterpiece Collection.” This is the highest title and is reserved for only the highest quality and most unique nano-lots of coffees produced on the farm, and we’re looking forward to share it with you.

Handpicked whole coffee cherries are placed into a sealed tank and left to ferment. A one way valve is placed on the tank blocking any oxygen from entering, as the coffee ferments it begins to release CO2 which forces out all of the oxygen from the tank. This soon creates an anaerobic environment inside the tank, providing ideal conditions for microorganisms to create enzymatic reactions inside of the beans, providing us with a unique flavour profile. After the fermentation, the coffee is then taken as whole cherris to dry on raised beds.
