Meet the farmer
Cocapil is a cooperative based in Ibarici, Alta Mogiana and it was founded in 2001 by Laerce Faleiros together with other producers from the area to better represent producers. In total there are now 1250 producers who are part of the cooperative. They have been working on vertically integrating themselves in the supply chain and they started to export by themselves in 2016. They are also working hard to improve the facilities of the cooperative by increasing their warehouse space and milling capacity so they are able to store 300,000 bags and offer a greater range of services to the cooperative members.
Farm / Region
This coffee comes from the Alta Mogiana on the southern borders of Minas Gerais close to Sao Paulo State where the altitudes reach up to 1300 masl. The Alta Mogiana is a protected Geographic Indication and identifies the origin of coffees from this region for their unique profile and character.
The Cooperative also have programs and training for the producers looking at topics like the environment and sustainability. They are also looking to the future and engaging with local schools and to arrange tours and education for the students. Cocapil also have a women's producer group named 'Cerejas do cafe' which translates as 'Cherry of Coffee' and this group is led by Lais Peixoto Costa Faleiroswho is one of the senior traders at Cocapil.
The process
All the coffees that are part of this blend are dried in static boxes. These are 1 m deep boxes with capacity for 15000 litre volume of cherry which equates to 25-30 bags of green coffee.
The boxes have a vented grill at the bottom to allow for air to be circulated from below up through the drying coffee. There are two thermometers at different depths to ensure a safe temperature always below 40c.
They are referred to as static due to the coffee remaining still in the boxes and not being turned or rotated during drying.
After it is dried the coffee is then left to rest for approximately 1- 2 weeks before being milled. This method has allowed the production of more fruity and prominent profiles from the usual profile we associate with Brazil natural coffee.
