Spice level warning — Caipirinha is not what I expected

I underestimated Caipirinha. The robust and filling description didn't prepare me for the reality. black beans brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

Brazilian cuisine reflects indigenous, Portuguese, and African culinary heritages in equal measure. The a São Paulo padaria setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. açaí bowl cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
