About the Producer

The Cocatrel Cooperative was founded in 1961 in Tres Pontas and has now grown to the second largest Cooperative in Brazil. There are over 6000 members who are part of the cooperative and they have 11 different buying points across the region.

‘Castanhas do Brasil’ which translates as "Nuts of Brazil" is a blend made mainly from one particular area called Carmo De Cachoeira. The coffee is selected for its sweet and creamy hazelnut praline 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.

All the coffees that are part of this blend are dried in static boxes. These are 1m deep boxes with capacity for 15000 litre volume of cherry, which equates to 25-30 bags of green coffee. The boxes have a vented grill at the bottom to allow for air to be circulated, throughout the drying process. There are two thermometers at different depths to ensure a safe temperature always below 40c. They are referred to as static due to the coffee remaining still in the boxes and not being turned or rotated during drying.

After it is dried, the coffee is then left to rest for approximately 1- 2 weeks before being milled. This method has allowed the production of more fruity and prominent profiles from the usual profile we associate with Brazil's natural coffee.
