Immerse yourself in the rich mosaic of Mantiqueira, a distinguished coffee born from the fertile soils of Brazil's Mantiqueira Mountains. Made by qualified small farmers gathered in the COCARIVE cooperative of Carmo de Minas, this “Pulped Natural” process coffee is a testament to the meticulous care and sustainable practices maintained by these dedicated growers. Mantiqueira is the result of Yellow Bourbon coffee beans, carefully selected for their quality and sensory qualities. Tasting notes of milk chocolate, hazelnut, cinnamon and brown sugar, along with its slight acidity, reveal the essence of Brazil's coffee landscape. The Pulped Natural process, in which the cherries are dried with the mucilage intact, gives Mantiqueira a unique sweetness and complexity. Located between 1,100 and 1,300 meters above sea level, the Mantiqueira estates meet strict quality criteria, and their tasting score of 83.5 reflects the farmers' dedication. This coffee is more than a drink; It is a journey through the nuances of the Brazilian terroir, where the altitude and volcanic soil create a full-bodied and balanced cup. Brazil, famous for its coffee prowess, produces almost 40% of the world's coffee, testament to its diverse qualities. The Mantiqueira Mountains, which form part of this vast coffee landscape, foster an environment where farmers prioritize cup quality over volume. The relatively flat terrain and selective mechanical harvesting make it possible to grow specialty coffees such as Mantiqueira. Mantiqueira's story extends beyond the cup, rooted in sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. COCARIVE's collaboration with AgroCP on the Sustenta+ certification highlights the company's commitment to environmentally friendly coffee production. This certification highlights the importance of balancing agricultural practices with environmental responsibility. Mantiqueira's journey continues with COCARIVE's unwavering support for its members. Agronomists and technical experts collaborate with farmers, guiding them on cultivation techniques, machinery, storage and marketing. The parchment phase of the coffee is meticulous, ensuring that only the best lots are selected for export. In the COCARIVE warehouses in Carmo de Minas, the coffee undergoes classification, marketing and export. The cooperative's commitment to quality is evident in its laboratory and storage facilities, where each batch undergoes scrutiny for its physical and cup characteristics. With Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) and Brazilian Specialty Coffee Association (BSCA) certifications, Mantiqueira is a testament to ethical farming practices and legal work. Mantiqueira shines as a beacon of quality in Brazilian coffees, offering a chocolatey, nutty and sweet profile that transcends the ordinary. Light acidity and a medium body elevate the coffee experience, inviting you to savor the essence of Mantiqueira with every sip. This is more than a coffee; is a journey through the heart of Brazilian coffee culture, where dedication to quality and sustainability are intertwined with every flavor note.
