Castanhas do Brasil (which means “Nuts of Brazil”) is a carefully curated blend from the Cocatrel Cooperative in Três Pontas, Minas Gerais. The cherries are sourced primarily from the Carmo de Cachoeira region in Sul de Minas, selected for their clean, sweet profile and scoring 83+ in quality evaluation.
The processing is done using static-box natural drying: cherries are dried in 1‑meter-deep ventilated boxes, with air circulating from below to ensure even drying without turning the fruit.On the fourth day of drying, the cherries are mixed to promote uniformity, then they rest for 1–2 weeks before being milled.
This method brings out a more fruit-forward sweetness than typical Brazilian naturals, while retaining a smooth, nutty body
Best brewing method:
☕️ Pour Over (V60 / Kalita) – highlights floral aromatics and clean acidity
🫖 Aeropress – brings out sweetness and body
🧊 Flash Brew / Iced Pour Over – refreshing with bright citrusy notes
