The Classic with the chrome polished.

This is classic Brazilian coffee, refined to the limits of sweetness and texture. No bourbon whiskey, no barrel aging, no added flavoring. Just the noble Bourbon variety, selected at peak ripeness and processed with the kind of precision Daterra is known for.

If The Classic is your dependable daily driver, Bourbon Collection is the same car after a full tune-up. Still familiar. Still easy to love. But more dimensional, more dialed-in, and built with the kind of clarity that turns comfort into craftsmanship.

While most coffees chase loudness, Bourbon answers with polish. The cup score, 87, reflects it: classic flavors, dialed in with real intent.

Nostalgic without being boring. Rich without being roasted into the ground. Sweet without needing sugar.

FLAVOR

Chocolate orange, toasted hazelnut, soft caramel, creamy body, and a clean citric lift cutting through the richness.

The coffee equivalent of a chocolate orange dessert. Dense, sweet, and familiar, with a beautiful flash of brightness running through it.

Approachable enough for classic coffee lovers. Structured enough to keep specialty drinkers highly interested. Personally, It’s one of our favorite coffees from this farm. Rarely do things beat a beautiful processed Bourbon variety.

ROAST APPROACH

This coffee is roasted to preserve the comfort of classic Brazilian coffee while adding more clarity, sweetness, and structure.

The goal is round chocolate, toasted hazelnut, creamy body, and ripe-orange acidity that stays intact. It is not a wild coffee. It is a precision coffee.

No funk. No gimmicks. No roastiness covering up the cup.

Just sweetness, balance, polish, and a richer finish than you expect.

DATERRA

Some farms grow coffee. Daterra obsesses over it.

The name means “from the earth,” and it was not chosen lightly. The Pascoal family came from Italy in the early 1900s, found their footing in Brazil, and eventually built one of the country’s largest auto parts businesses.

When it was time for Donato Pascoal to retire in 1976, he decided to reinvest in the industry that had sparked his family’s passion so long ago.

Not to farm commodity coffee.

To rethink what a Brazilian coffee farm could be.

That is exactly the spirit Bourbon Collection runs on. This is not a coffee made special by adding something extra. It is special because of how carefully the raw material is grown, selected, processed, dried, and sorted.

THE FARM

Daterra’s farms in Patrocínio sit among the oldest coffee plantations in the Brazilian Cerrado, at an average altitude of over 3,000 feet, with some terroirs approaching 4,000.

Dry winters, warm summers, and red soil that has no interest in making things easy. The climate forces the trees to work, and the trees reward the patience.

The two main farms, Boa Vista and Taboões, are divided into a system of mini farms. Each one is harvested based on its own maturation data.

Cherries are sorted into eight different ripeness levels before processing begins.

Most farms sort ripe from unripe.

Daterra sorts ripe from very ripe from perfect.

THE PROCESSING

This lot draws from ripe red and yellow Bourbon cherries selected for sweetness, structure, and balance.

The coffee is pulped, then dried using a combination of patios and drum dryers for consistency, sweetness, and control. That combination builds the creamy body, chocolate depth, and clean finish that make this cup so easy to love.

The result has the weight and chocolate depth for espresso, but enough citrus clarity to stay lively as a brewed coffee.
