This is a Yellow Catuaì selection made in Carmo de Minas trough the partnership of Greentide with coop COCARIVE and our friends of CQT. It's a perfect coffee for an espresso preparation in single origin but also a wonderful base for a premium coffee blend. In June of 2020, Mantiqueira de Minas was officially registered as a Demonination of Origin.

Harvested in June of 2020, Mantiqueira Drift is a Natural processed coffee. This means once picked and rinsed, the coffee was dried with its outer skin on.  The coffee dried on the patio for approximately 5 days after which time it was moved to a dryer to continue the drying process.  Dryers are used to have more control and uniformity in the drying process.  It continued the drying for 2 weeks in the dryers until the coffee reached a humidity of 11.6%.  At this point, the coffee was dehulled and taken to the dry mill for final processing and prepared for exportation.
