Daterra Stardust - Single Origin
Daterra Stardust - Single Origin
I like this one as a filter. It's a Brazilian that doesn't behave like most Brazilians: Yellow Bourbon, dried whole on the tree, which gives it a velvety texture and a lot of ripe fruit. We roast it light so none of that gets buried.
Tasting notes: ripe yellow fruit — nectarine, pineapple, peach and apricot — with sugar cane sweetness
Origin: Cerrado, Brazil
Producer: Daterra
Process: natural, dried on the tree
Altitude: 1,000 to 1,200m
Varietal: Yellow Bourbon
Harvest: May to August
Roast: light
Best for: all brew methods, though I'd make it as filter
Read full description
Daterra sits in the Cerrado and is unlike most farms anywhere. Of its 6,300 hectares, 3,500 are protected forest rather than coffee. The farm is carbon negative and was the first coffee farm in the world to become a B Corp. It's divided into 560 sectors, each with its own agronomist, and only the lots the farm judges to be speciality are allowed to carry the Daterra name. Stardust is one of those.
Best if you:
- want a Brazilian that tastes of fruit rather than just chocolate
- brew filter and like a bit of drama in the cup
Brew it: V60, Aeropress or batch brew at 60g per litre. Espresso nearer 2.3:1, so 18g in for about 41g out. Cafetiere at 70g per litre with water just off the boil.
We roast in 18kg batches through the week, so nothing sits around ageing before it reaches you. Stardust is the one single origin we keep on all year. No two coffees are the same, so we let each one dictate how it's roasted. Every batch runs on manual controls, so we can react to how the coffee develops in the drum and fine tune the balance of convection and conduction heat. That's where the precision comes from.

Grinding and storage
Grinding and storage
Choose whole bean or let us grind to order for filter, cafetiere, stove top, Aeropress or batch brew. If you have a grinder at home, whole bean will always taste better.
Keep coffee somewhere cool and dark in an airtight container, never the fridge. If you are pulling shots, rest the beans three days after roasting. See our FAQ for more.
