Diamond is a brilliant coffee. The blend of beans creates a balanced profile that appeals to a wide audience. The result is a neutral coffee that forms a solid foundation for the other flavors in the blend. Or it can be enjoyed on its own. The harvest from several small farms is brought to the Cooxupé cooperative. It is responsible for processing and quality control, which is why Diamond enjoys a consistent and balanced taste year after year. Cooxupé has a long history in Brazil. It was founded in 1932 as a cooperative that provided agricultural credit. In 1957, Cooxupé developed into the regional coffee growers' cooperative of Guaxupé. After its reorganization, the cooperative began buying, milling, and selling coffee on the international market. With more than 60 years of experience in the national and international sectors, Cooxupé is a standard in the Brazilian coffee industry. Today, the cooperative sells coffee to companies in more than 40 countries. It represents approximately 12,000 members, producers from Sul de Minas and Cerrado in the Minas Gerais region, as well as growers in the Rio Pardo Valley in São Paulo. Ninety-seven percent of these members are small-scale farming families. These members own small plots, and coffee production is their main source of income. Receiving fair prices is therefore vital to their survival.

As a major coffee industry player in Brazil, Cooxupé takes its social responsibility toward its members seriously. In the rural areas where the cooperative works, it has developed health and scholarship programs and provides education and agricultural training. These training programs place great emphasis on future generations of coffee farmers and on building sustainable farming systems. One highly successful cooperative program, called Escola Consciente, won the Andef Award in 2014. The Andef Award is considered one of the most important distinctions in Brazilian agriculture. Cooxupé continues to use its size to make a difference.
In 2013, it launched the Environmental Education Centre to help reduce the impact of agriculture by encouraging future generations of farmers to be even more environmentally conscious.
