COCARIVE Baba's Wine blend

About this coffee

During the sourcing trip to Brazil in September 2025 we highlighted two coffees from the COCARIVE cooperative that we thought would suit a house style easy drinking coffee. 'COCARIVE Baba's Wine Blend' are coffees processed as anaerobic naturals giving them a more fruity and winey profile than the traditional naturals . The result is something a little more fruit forward.

The Serra de Mantiqueira stretch across São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro states. Located in the Minas Gerais state, the Mantiqueria de Minas area was the first to get a geographical indication in the Brazilian coffee industry (supported and developed by BSCA). This fresh approach, akin to ‘terroir’ in the wine industry, is redefining how people view specialty coffee from Brazil with 25 counties in the region and 7,800 producers, of which 89% are smallholders. The area comprises 69,500 hectares and altitude ranges from 900 to 1,500 masl, with a predominance of yellow varieties over the more typical red. All coffees are minimum 84 SCA points as part of the denomination and many enter the late harvest Cup of Excellence in Brazil.
