Introducing the World’s First and Only Coffee Naturally Grown with Only 1% Caffeine: Daterra Coffee’s Opus 1 Exotic

Following twelve and a half years of intense breeding and cultivation, Daterra Coffee of Brazil announces Opus 1 Exotic, the first 100% Arabica coffee grown to be naturally lower in caffeine. With less than 1% caffeine, Daterra Coffee’s Opus 1 Exotic is the first naturally grown low-caffeine coffee available to Specialty Coffee roasters.

Seattle, WA, October 25, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Developed through natural breeding methods, Opus 1 Exotic is not genetically modified; rather it has been meticulously bred from ancient Ethiopian varieties of Caffea Arabica, the finest coffees in the world. Opus 1 Exotic is not a GMO product and poses no threats that are so often associated with GMO products. All Daterra Coffees, including Opus 1 Exotic are Rainforest Alliance certified, ISO 14001, and Utz Kapeh certified.

Daterra Coffee has successfully cultivated and brought to maturity this extraordinary new coffee. It is ready to ship to roasters worldwide. Opus 1 Exotic has 30% less caffeine than traditional Arabicas making it the perfect coffee for afternoons and evenings - and its taste profile is one of a kind.
