This is our third year working with DRWakefield and Daterra through their auction to secure an exceptional one off snapshot in time from their Masterpieces Auction. Incomes this years cupping and auction, and well we knew we wanted to grab ourselves something similar in profile to the last two years if possible, and luckily we managed with the help of our friends at DRWakefield - even with a lot fewer Masterpieces being won here in the UK we managed to grab ourselves one! Daterra are pushing the boundaries of Brazilian coffees and changing perspectives as they go. This lot is a Yellow Bourbon, prized for its high cup potential . Daterra have been experimenting with new varietals and also with processing methods through their Masterpieces farm project in order to create unique experiences.
