Gaél (sold out)

Gaél is a unique Brazilian lot that has a very different profile from what is typically associated with the origin. It has been produced by Natália Brito and André Garcia, on their farm, Jaguara. Notes of forest fruit with cacao, marzipan, and nectarine. Balanced acidity with punch-like sweetness and syrupy texture.

Produced by Natália Brito and André Garcia, Gaél represents a distinct offering from Brazil. While this specific lot from Caravan Coffee Roasters is currently sold out, it remains a notable example of the profile often associated with the region. The coffee features a complex sensory profile characterized by forest fruit, cacao, marzipan, and nectarine.

When evaluating such profiles, enthusiasts often consult a flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between nutty, sweet, and stone-fruit notes. Brazilian coffees are frequently celebrated for their approachable, balanced sweetness and heavy body, which often provide a stable foundation for the nuanced fruit and confectionary characteristics found in high-quality lots. By examining the specific contributions of producers like Brito and Garcia, one gains a clearer understanding of how regional processing techniques influence the final cup, bridging the gap between traditional expectations and the diverse flavor expressions found in contemporary specialty coffee.
