This Brazilian coffee is from the Daterra farms in the Cerrado region, specifically from the city of Patrocínio at 1150 meters altitude. The coffee is Bourbon Amarelo variety and natural processed. It is Rainforest Alliance certified. The roast features an extended Maillard phase that developed traditional cocoa powder flavors, making it particularly well-suited for milk-based espresso drinks. The Cerrado region provides steady climate with dry-fresh winters and warm-wet summers, creating ideal conditions for Arabica coffee.
Nick and Charlie started S&W Craft Roasting as avid home roasters and built it into a focused, direct to consumer operation based in Coatesville, Indiana. The roastery is veteran owned and runs exclusively online with no brick and mortar retail, keeping the emphasis squarely on the coffee itself. All production goes through a refurbished 1993 Sasa Samiac drum roaster fitted with Agtron color control systems for precise, repeatable results. The catalog runs deep, with roughly 99 single origin varieties sourced from Ethiopia, India, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Colombia, China, and beyond. Their roasting philosophy prioritizes origin character over roast imprint, with no artificial flavorings, preservatives, or additives.
