Mantiqueira Azul lot is grown in the rolling hills of the Serra da Mantiqueira region, Minas Gerais, Brazil — a terroir renowned for its moderate altitude (approximately 900–1,500 metres) and mild climate.

The COCARIVE cooperative, which unites many small family farms, ensures that even modest plots are cultivated with care and expertise.

This lot is typically processed using the pulped natural method, in which the cherries are depulped but dried with a portion of the fruit still attached.

Carefully sorted, the beans undergo controlled fermentation and slow drying at the COCARIVE facilities, preserving clarity, medium body, and balanced acidity.

The resulting cup offers chocolate and nutty notes, complemented by subtle hints of fruit or citrus.

COCARIVE unites local family farms, and TREVO works closely with CQT to source and support this lot. CQT provides technical guidance, quality control, and export logistics, ensuring each bean meets high standards while empowering farmers. The collaboration between TREVO and CQT reflects a relationship built on trust, shared knowledge, and mutual respect.

This partnership guarantees that every cup of Mantiqueira Azul embodies the care, expertise, and dedication of the producers, delivering a consistent, refined flavour that honours both origin and collaboration.
