How do I taste the coffee?
We receive one sample box of Daterra Masterpieces each year, which means we have limited sample material. The best way to taste the coffee before the auction is by purchasing a sample set directly from Daterra.
Each sample set contains 200 grams of each coffee and a coffee guide for the auction. Ikawa roast profiles are also available for each lot. We’ll also be tasting the coffee in our lab, so ask a member of the DRW trade team for more info.
Sample sets are available to purchase directly from Daterra for $280.
