Our relationship with Cocatrel Cooperative goes back 7 years. The direct-trade specialty
division is focused on microlots and alternative processing, but also tastes through
thousands of samples to create a blend of coffees that fits our target taste profile for the
consistent taste profile of our Luzia blend. All of the coffees used in the blend are grown in the state of Minas Gerais, around the town of Três Pontas. Cocatrel was founded in 1961 and is headquartered in Três Pontas, Minas Gerais. Now one of the largest cooperatives in Brazil with nearly 7,000 members, inventory management is fully integrated with the quality control lab to guarantee traceability and quality with all lots. The specialty team, led by our friend Gabriel, selects, promotes and offers the best tasting coffees from the members of the cooperative.

Fragrance and aroma of nougat and cashew. Flavors of caramel, chocolate and cream with an aftertaste of dried dates and sweet nuttiness. Very mild citric acidity with a creamy, medium body and soft mouthfeel.
