Earth Coffee 2024: Every Bag Plants A Tree
Our 2024 Earth Coffee brings together two special projects undertaken with innovative producer Daterra: Our Plot and THE BARN Forest.

Four years ago, Daterra invited us to take ownership of 1 hectares of beautiful Aramosa coffee plants. Together, we are seeking to elevate coffee production techniques. Only six roasters worldwide were chosen by Daterra to join their initiative. Through a series of experiments, we have been able to develop the best possible processing style for the rare Aramosa varietal. The lot we chose for our Earth Coffee was processed in Black Honey style, producing a profile that is intensely sweet, like a strawberry candy and frangipane.

THE BARN forest is our commitment to plant 40,000 trees by 2025. For every bag of Earth Coffee, we will plant one native tree in Brazil, nurtured by the experts at Daterra for 10 years, until our forest thrives. 24,000 trees were already planted with your support. As well as ordering our Earth Coffee, you can donate trees, starting at 1.50 EUR per tree.

The Cup

Our project took us from yellow to black honey, with different fermentation times, layers, sugar levels. We found a quick drying black honey process to be the best, with intense sweetness and superb texture. Expect the sweet note of ripe strawberry or fruit candy. A lingering note of frangipane is a nutty reminder of the classic profile of Brazilian terroir.

About The Farm

Daterra are pioneers in their field: committed to pushing the boundaries in coffee production, with a dedicated approach to both quality and sustainability. They were the first Rainforest Alliance certified coffee farm in Brazil and the only B Corp certified coffee producer in the world. For us, working with producers is an exciting journey and our close relationship with Daterra has allowed us to push the limits of coffee sourcing.

We have committed to plant 40,000 native trees over the next 5 years on 25 hectares of land. The trees will be planted, nurtured, and managed by Daterra for at least 10 years. Our forest will grow on their estate in Cerrado, Brazil, and will be managed by their expert team. Our forest project is the most valuable sustainability project we have ever done.

We invite you to be part of our most valuable sustainability project yet. Let us grow a forest together!

The Process

In Honey Processing, the skin and outer layer of fruit surrounding the bean are removed, but the mucilage is left in place: the sticky, golden layer that gives the process its name. In the Black Honey process we chose for Our Plot, the majority of the mucilage remains, allowing intense sweetness to develop. The beans are then slowly dried on covered beds, where they develop the distinct dark colour.
