About the Producer

CARPEC was founded in 1965 and is a co-operative for members representing a range of agricultural businesses, focusing on livestock and dairy farming. Based in Carmo de Paranaiba in the Cerrado region of Minas Gerais, it's only natural that the cooperative began supporting coffee producers in the area, who started joining in 1989.

After many years of increasing the amount of services available to their coffee producer members, CARPEC opened their own coffee-dedicated warehouse and processing facility in 2019. A state-of-the-art facility with capacity to store 300,000 bags at any given time, CARPEC purchases coffee from its members to create a range of in-house labels built on achieving specific qualities and profiles. In addition, they facilitate access to the market for farmers producing outstanding coffees who want to develop relationships with buyers around the world.

Owls can be seen flying throughout Cerrado, so CARPEC assign an owl name to each of their coffees. Pulsa Trix is a bespoke lot built for Langdon Coffee Merchants, blending 80% natural processed coffee with 20% of a pulped natural lot. It has all the depth and sweetness of the Black Strix but adds an elegant florality and stone fruit edge. This will work well as the base for an espresso blend but brings enough character to hold its own as a single origin espresso.
