At first glance, our Pascaol may seem unassuming, but don’t be fooled! Its intense sweetness is reminiscent of a freshly spread Nutella sandwich – and who could resist that? As the coffee cools, fruity strawberry notes take centre stage, balanced by a delicate acidity. With a splash of milk, Pascaol transforms into a chocolate-covered strawberry – a true moment of indulgence.

Located in the Cerrado region of Brazil, Daterra Coffee Farm was founded in the 1980s by Luis Pascoal. It is known for its focus on sustainability and was the first Rainforest Alliance certified farm in Brazil.
The Pascoal family, originally from Italy, emigrated to Brazil in the early 20th century and established themselves in the coffee industry. Luis Pascoal set new standards in coffee farming through innovative technology and experimentation. Known for its experimental methods, Daterra produces unique small batches that are considered 'masterpieces'. The combination of tradition and innovation has earned the farm worldwide recognition.
This coffee has undergone the 'Tree-Dry Natural' process. This is a special method of processing coffee in which the cherries are partially or completely dried on the tree before harvesting. Drying the cherries on the tree allows the natural sugars and aromas to penetrate more deeply into the coffee bean, resulting in a sweeter and fruitier flavour profile.
