Filter B stands for 100% Brazil, no blends, all credits to the producers. We work with the same producers every year and aim for the best possible quality only. Caixa da Fruta is a blend created at the Cocatrel Cooperative in Sul de Minas in Brazil, who source from various smallholder farmers in the region, at heights between 900 and 1100 masl. Its name literally means box of fruits and refers to the flavours as perceived by the team at Cocatrel when creating this blend profile. All coffees that are part of Caixa da Fruta are dried in so-called ‘static’ boxes of 1m deep with a volume capacity of 15000 liter (1500 kg of coffee). At the bottom are vented air grills which allow for an even air circulation while the temperature inside is kept below 40 degrees at all times. Interesting about this static drying is that the cherries are touched nor raked throughout the whole process. After drying, the coffee is rested for 1 or 2 weeks - depending on the weather circumstances - before milling.
