Beanji in Brazil: Coffee, Mate & Morning Sunshine

Beanji arrived in Brazil expecting beaches and samba—but he quickly found something deeper: a country that lives and breathes its drinks. From the sweet warmth of café com leite to the earthy zing of chimarrão (mate), Brazil gave Beanji energy, community, and joy in every cup.

☕ Stop #1: Café com Leite in São Paulo

Mornings in Brazil start soft and cozy—with a cup of café com leite (coffee with milk) and pão de queijo (cheesy bread rolls). Beanji sat on a bright veranda, sipping this creamy blend while birds chirped. Locals greeted him with smiles and strong pours. “Comfort in a cup,” he whispered.

🌿 Stop #2: Chimarrão (Mate) with Friends

In the south, Beanji discovered chimarrão—green mate served in a cuia (gourd) with a metal bombilla straw. The flavor? Bold. Bitter. Refreshing. But it wasn’t just about the drink—it was about the ritual. One gourd passed around a circle. Sipped in turns. “This isn’t just tea,” Beanji realized, “this is friendship.”

🚜 Stop #3: Coffee Fields of Minas Gerais

Curious where the beans came from, Beanji visited a small family farm. Red cherries popped under his paws. He watched them roast, grind, and brew. It smelled like home. He even tried his paw at picking beans—though he mostly just snacked on fruit.

🐼 Beanji’s Brazilian Wisdom

“In Brazil, they don’t just drink—they share. They connect. Every cup is a reason to pause, laugh, or hug.”
