Marchador | Brazil

Cocarive was founded on May 7, 1961 thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit and unity of pioneering farmers from Carmo de Minas. Their objective was to transform local coffee production into a point of reference and pride, in both productivity and excellence in the cup.

This region is located on the slopes of Serra de Mantiqueira, near the headwaters of the Rio Verde. The word Mantiquiera comes from the Tupi word for the crying mountain due to its abundance of natural spring water. The land here is very fertile, supported by a consistently mild climate with predictable weather patterns for near-perfect drying conditions.

Mantiqueira de Minas has dominated the Cup of Excellence over the last 10 years by producing up to 70% of winning lots from all of Brazil.

We are honoured to collaborate with these award-winning producers.
