Daterra Reserve Espresso

There's a lot you can say about Brazil's Daterra offerings. One of their (the Daterra group of coffee growers) mission statements is that they have a "commitment to produce and deliver the best green arabica coffee and the best espresso blends." With espresso becoming increasingly popular this particular coffee is an excellent stand-alone choice for anyone that is in to espresso. We don't cup specifically for espresso use, but this origin will surely do an excellent job for that purpose with significant aroma, chocolate flavor and great crema. This makes for a truly great shot - there just aren't many blends that can compete with this. Whether straight espresso, a macchiato, or cappuccino, this offering makes a smooth, cozy cup. The coffee has a touch of sweetness to it, and adding even a bit of milk as with a macchiato is plenty in my book. Aside from espresso, this coffee works very well as a drip brew as well.
