In case you missed it, this week we have been showcasing all 30 of the 2020 Daterra Masterpieces through online virtual cuppings from the team here at DRW. You can watch them all below along with the cupping notes.
As you may be aware this year there isn’t going to be an auction but instead each box will have a fixed price and a portion of the profits from each bag sold will be donated to charity.
Our chosen charity is the ‘The Mental Health Foundation’ who have been sharing practical information about how you can support your own mental health, and the wellbeing of your family and community during the current pandemic. To find out more visit https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk. We recommend following them on Instagram too.
All the coffees will go on sale to our customers through us on 19th November, ahead of the public sale on 25th November. Get in touch with your trader to place an order.

At 2pm (GMT) on Wed 18th November we will be holding a live Q&A, on our instagram, with Gabriel Agrelli Moreira from Daterra to answer all your questions regarding this year’s collection.
Scroll down to hear all about each microlot with our virtual cuppings and tasting notes.
