Chapadao COE

Chapadão COE is a natural Brazil with more lift and fruit than the category often suggests. Sweet orange and red plum sit over a syrupy body, with juicy acidity and concentrated sugars carrying the cup through a rounded finish.

The coffee comes from Fazenda Chapadão in Cerrado Mineiro, where Gustavo and Rodrigo Alvarenga have built a strong reputation for specialty production. This Paraiso lot placed third in Brazil’s Cup of Excellence Natural Category, a useful signal for the care behind the coffee without needing to make the cup feel overly formal.

Natural processing gives the coffee its richer texture and deeper fruit expression. Rather than leaning heavy or chocolate-forward, this lot stays bright and composed, showing plum, citrus and a light, winey sweetness. For drinkers who want a Brazil with sweetness and structure, but a little more fruit at the center, this is the pick of the lot.
