What are the flavor characteristics and taste of Sunrise sun-dried beans in Daterra Manor Minas-Datra?

Brazil is the largest coffee producer in the world, accounting for about 30% of coffee production, but because Brazil is located in tropical rain forest areas with relatively flat terrain and few high-altitude mountain forests, most coffee is grown in low-altitude non-volcanic soil areas. And there is not much shade for shading, resulting in the disadvantage that Brazilian beans grow quickly, but the density and soft flavor of coffee does not change much. Coupled with large-scale machine harvesting of coffee beans with a wide range of maturity differences in coffee harvesting at the same time, so that the quality of Brazilian beans is not particularly outstanding has always stayed in the category of commercial beans.

Since 2000, due to the inducement of coffee competition, the quality of coffee beans produced in the high-altitude areas of the south has been appreciated, mainly by the farms around the Minas high platform, and the coffee quality is also the largest among Brazilian beans, such as Syracuse in the west of Minas and Matas in the east. In Bashiya in the north or small farms in the south, Minas has almost become synonymous with Brazilian boutique coffee. In recent years, the coffee competition is so accurate that it is separated by treatment (water treatment? Half-washed? Half-sun? Solarization) to develop a variety of flavors? Taste? Yu Yun is quite different from the traditional Brazilian coffee. In particular, half-sun and solarization performed best, increasing the aroma of clean, low-acidity fruit and reducing the rich chocolate flavor.

Daterra Manor in Brazil is a Brazilian sun-dried bean certified by the Forest Alliance.

Daterra coffee in Brazil has sprung up in the past year or two. Instead of being a single coffee farm, it brings the high-altitude coffee farms in the Minas Gerais region into the middle and later stages of centralized treatment, then centralizes storage and management in dry bags, and sells it to the world under the name of Datra Coffee Farm (or company) through novel marketing methods. The member farms of Daterra Coffee are all above 1150 meters above sea level, with an average annual temperature of about 22 degrees. The farms that join must comply with the spirit of the Rain Forest Alliance (R.F.A) to protect the primeval rainforest and improve the community living environment and family income of the participating members.

Immediately after the harvest, the coffee is sent to the treatment plant from the production place, and the coffee water treated with water comes from the underground well water because no chemical composition is added in the process and can be used for irrigation after use, without any damage to the natural environment. The Datra sun beans are slightly different from other natural sun drying methods in Brazil. After drying the raw beans on the bean drying farm for 3 days, they are moved to a dryer with hot water passing through the tube as a heat source to keep the temperature no more than 30 degrees Celsius until the overall humidity of the coffee beans drops to 11 percent. Then move the coffee to a special wooden box after about 60 days, so that the coffee has a uniform humidity and the same liveliness. It is not polished and packed in gunny bags until the sales order is accepted. Daterra Coffee is a top Brazilian coffee grown in the pristine rainforest and is the most important partner of the Rainforest Alliance in Brazil.
