BRAZIL CAIXA DE FRUTAS

In the heart of Minas Gerais, a community of smallholder farmers united under the Cocatrel Cooperative carefully hand-pick bright red coffee cherries beneath the warm Brazilian sun. Their shared passion and craftsmanship transform every harvest into something truly special.
This lot, Caixa De Frutas, is processed using a natural static box drying method a technique that lets the coffee rest and ferment gently with its skin and pulp still intact. As the cherries slowly dry, their juicy fruit character seeps deep into the beans, layering sweetness and complexity into every sip.
The result is a cup that tastes like a box of fruit bursting open rich dark cherry, smooth milk chocolate, sweet caramel, a touch of cacao nibs, and roasted hazelnut to finish. With a cupping score of 85, this Topázio variety showcases the vibrant evolution of Brazilian coffee: approachable, playful, and unexpectedly elegant.
