Brazil Cavaquinho Natural

The Cavaquinho is a pulp-natural processed Brazilian coffee with a creamy body, jammy sweetness, and a decadent nutty profile. It represents what we love most from Brazil, and it’s here to stay as part of our evergreen single-origin lineup. As a key component of our most cherished blend, The Answer, this coffee will rotate through different regions of Brazil, showcasing the country’s consistent excellence cultivated by producers across cooperatives and estates. The name “Cavaquinho” is especially fitting—much like the rhythmic beats this small guitar adds to Brazilian music, our Cavaquinho coffee brings an approachable sweetness and low acidity to our menu.

Our Cavaquinho blends the best of the rhythmic tunes of fruit jam with the creamy, nutty sweetness of peanut butter. It beguiles us with its sophisticated, percussive strumming beats of milk chocolate that add balance to the PB&J sandwich. The Cavaquinho pairs wonderfully with milk and sugar, or as espresso, perfect for anyone who wants to explore medium-roast, single-origin coffees.

Natural-processed coffees tend to showcase fruit-forward character and fuller body, and this Brazil Cavaquinho exemplifies those typical qualities with its jammy sweetness and creamy mouthfeel. Cat & Cloud Coffee has roasted this Brazilian lot to emphasize complementary nutty and chocolate notes—peanut butter and milk chocolate provide savory ballast to the fruit jam character. The natural processing method allows the fruit contact to develop these deeper, more rounded flavors compared to washed alternatives. Whether you're exploring how processing shapes flavor or diving deeper into taste descriptors via the flavor wheel, this lot offers an approachable entry point to how drying method and origin terroir combine to create a well-balanced cup.
