Cafeina Women's Group, Tres Pontas, Sul De Minas, Brazil | Natural FSC-8120

As part of the Cocatrel Cooperative in Tres Pontas, Sul De Minas, there is a group that was started in 2021 for the female farmers who are part of the Cooperative. The Cafeina Group is made up of 21% of the members of the Cocatrel Cooperative, equating to 1,154 women producers. The idea was to encourage the engagement of these female producers in the decision-making process of the Cooperative. They are organized to have meetings every two months to improve their education and knowledge but also to increase their visibility in the coffee growing community and promote their involvement. The group at the Cooperative is led by Iandra Vilela who has won awards for leading Women in coffee. This coffee is a natural lot made up of Mundo Novo and Acaia varieties. The coffee is machine harvested before the grades are separated and then left to dry on the patio for 7-10 days. The coffee is then left to rest for 30 days before being hulled and then delivered to the cooperative.
