Farm: Rio Brillhante

Aramosa is a rare hybrid of two coffee species - Coffea arabica and Coffea racemosa. The racemosa species is native to parts of South Eastern Africa, and was purposefully cross-bred with Arabica because of its natural resistance to coffee leaf rust. It typically contains just 0.6–1.0% caffeine by weight, compared to 1.4-1.6% for regular Arabica coffees.
This lot comes from the Urban family’s Rio Brilhante farm in Minas Gerais, where over 800 hectares are dedicated to coffee and more than 250 workers are employed across harvest seasons.
Cherries are picked and hand-sorted before being fermented aerobically for 36 hours, then dried on patios for 15 days. Grown in mineral-rich volcanic soil at 1000–1150 masl, this Aramosa offers a sweet, gently complex profile with notes of apple, hazelnut and chocolate. A standout coffee in both flavour and function.
A gentle, sweet cup—ideal for afternoons, lighter routines or anyone seeking balance in their daily coffee ritual.

What is Lo Caf coffee?
Our Lo Caf coffees are rare coffees that naturally contain less caffeine than typical arabica varieties. Laurina, a low-caffeine arabica variety, usually contains 0.4% to 0.6% caffeine by weight. Aramosa, a hybrid of arabica and the low-caffeine species Coffea Racemosa, typically ranges from 0.6% to 1.0%.
For comparison, most arabica coffees contain 1.4% to 1.6%. These low-caffeine plants are harder to grow—since caffeine helps defend against pests—which makes Lo Caf coffees both distinctive and limited in supply.
For our Lo Caf coffees we lab test our raw (‘green’) coffee for caffeine content before roasting. Testing is conducted using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) – a widely used analytical technique for separating and quantifying compounds in food and drink.

What our customers say about our Lo Caf coffees
They’re “metropolitan millennial problems” for sure but my tastebuds have become pretty “numb” to most coffee varieties these days. My partner works for a roastery, so I’m constantly exposed to a rotation of different coffee varieties, but after a while, they all start to blur together.
But this is the first coffee in a long time that’s actually stood out. Calm has really nailed the story tasting notes, not just for this one but for a couple of others I’ve tried too, because for once, I can actually TASTE what’s been described.
The Daterra is just a gorgeous coffee. It’s smooth, rich, and full of flavor, perfect for an early morning start or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up without the jittery buzz. It really does feel like a treat when I’m setting it up for drinking!
I am loving this coffee at the moment, it tastes beautifully fruity. I have been brewing this with my aromaboy filter brewer and it's the perfect afternoon pick me up without being too much!
A happy compromise for my wife who normally drinks decaf and myself who would opt for full caf. Much better than having to make two brews.
I love this coffee. The beans were perfectly roasted and made a thick crema. We will buy it again.
