  • Description

    Castanas is a blend from the Cocatrel Cooperative which was founded in 1961 in Tres Pontas. It has grown into the second-largest cooperative in Brazil. It has over 6000 members with 11 different buying points across the region. All the coffee is electronically tagged and recorded on delivery with a unique QR code, giving full traceability on all the coffees. Over half of the members of the cooperative grow coffee on land that is less than 10 hectares in size.

     

    Caixa De Fruta, which translates as ‘Box of Fruits’ is a blend made mainly from one particular area called Carmo De Cachoeira. The coffee is selected for its red fruit and creamy milk chocolate profile by the cupping team in the Cocatrel Direct Lab, who assign it to this profile blend. The coffee must have a clean profile and be scoring 83+ on evaluation.
