Eldorado – Brazil

A natural process Brazilian from the Faleiros family, who have farmed in Alta Mogiana for more than 100 years. Grown at 1000-1150 masl and dried slowly on the world’s largest suspended patios, this Catuai lot is gentle and sweet, with soft stone fruit and melon that delivers a full bodied mouthfeel.

Balanced and easy-drinking, it's a Brazil that rewards espresso and filter alike.

Produced by the Faleiros family in the Alta Mogiana region of Brazil, the Eldorado lot represents a classic expression of the Catuai varietal. This coffee is prepared using the natural process, a method where the coffee cherry is dried intact around the bean, often contributing to a fuller body and pronounced sweetness in the cup. While natural-processed coffees frequently exhibit heavier fruit profiles, this specific selection from Pilot Coffee Roasters highlights delicate notes of stone fruit and melon.

Grown at elevations between 1000 and 1150 masl, the Eldorado benefits from the specific microclimate of Alta Mogiana, which is well-regarded for producing consistent, approachable profiles. To better understand how these specific fruit characteristics fit into the broader spectrum of coffee profiles, you can explore the flavor wheel. This lot serves as an excellent example of how traditional processing techniques and regional terroir work in tandem to define the character of Brazilian specialty coffee.
