Decaffeinated Daterra Reserve Espresso WP

Rainforest Alliance Certified. Daterra is a coffee grower best known for its innovative research, its respect for the environment and its high quality coffee. Plantations are located in the Cerrado region (State of Minas Gerais) and in the Mogiana region (State of São Paulo). The high altitude, stable temperature, and defined rainy season create perfect conditions for sustainable Arabica coffee farming. Daterra's uniqueness lies not only in its environmental philosophy: protection of wildlife, water resources, and native forests, but also in its social responsibility, promoting labor rights. Daterra's Program for Environment and Wild Animals Preservation is certified by four international organizations, crowning the efforts of an 18-year project to establish Daterra as a fully sustainable coffee producer. For those who want to take it easy on the caffeine intake, particularly with the copious amount of coffee used for espresso, this decaf version of the Daterra Reserve Espresso is an optimal choice. 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 arabica coffee and the best espresso blends." With espresso becoming increasingly popular this particular coffee is an excellent stand-alone choice for those who are into 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. Aside from espresso, this coffee works very well as a drip brew as well. Caramelly (toffee, molasses, honey) and intense chocolate aromas; deep, heavy, rich, sweet chocolate, cocoa flavor
