Meet The Producers

We've been using coffee from the Mantiqueira co-operative for several years. Setup as a collective of farmers working together to produce consistent, quality focused coffees.


Harvesting & Processing

We love the consitent flavour profile of the coffee from Mantiqueira. After harvest the coffees are dried on concrete patios using the natural method. No water is required for this form of processing making it the most eco friendly option. Once dried to a moisture content of 12% the coffee is rested for 30 to 60 days in wooden lined silos. Final dry milling is done at the premises of Cocarive nearby, where beans are colour sorted, graded, and bagged for shipping.
