Gael - Brazil

Gael #1 is a distinctive Brazilian microlot by Natália Moreira Brito, developed in collaboration with Jaguara Coffee and sourced through Nordic Approach. Named after Natália’s son, this lot represents the more adventurous side of their production—crafted as an extended fermentation natural to bring out deeper complexity and a more expressive cup profile.

In the cup, Gael #1 is vibrant and layered, combining bright aromatics with a rounded body and a rich, fudge-like sweetness. Expect notes of bergamot, pink guava, ripe stone fruit, vanilla, cinnamon, and caramel, all carried by a smooth, structured mouthfeel. With a cupping score of 87.5, it stands out as a modern, character-driven Brazilian coffee.

Behind this coffee is Natália’s continuous effort to push Brazilian coffee beyond its traditional profile. As a second-generation producer, exporter, and cupper, she works closely with smallholders in the Jaguara region while also developing her own farm, Toca da Jaguara. Through experimentation with fermentation and drying, she delivers unique, high-quality coffees that redefine expectations from Brazil.
