Our international coffee day 2021 special release reveals the plenitude of the flavor potential in coffee. An underlying note of pears complemented by vanilla and a floral hint of honeysuckle display the unique results brought about by the watermelon fermentation process. The cup is balanced with medium acidity and body and is ideal to brew with all pourover devices, aeropress, moka pot and cold brew. Process: once cherries are picked and rinsed as usual, they are sealed in fermentation tanks in which very low oxygen levels are maintained (anaerobic fermentation). The cherries are sealed in the tanks along with watermelon fruit with their juices squeezed out. Fermentation takes place for 72 hours and after the ideal ph value and sugar content is attained, the cherries are removed and dried in the sun on raised drying beds. Drying takes place under controlled shade which allows the producer to control moisture and microorganism activity. After 2 days of drying in approximately 75% sunlight, the shade is eliminated to speed up drying until the final moisture content is attained. The dried cherries are then rested for a certain period of time before being shipped off for hulling.

Sweet, sweet, sweetness all the way! Isn’t it a coffee lover’s dream to brew a cup that gives pleasant sweetness with sparkling acidity? That’s what you get in this exciting honey processed microlot from mr. Ashok patre’s ratnagiri estate. Following a heady aroma and a gentle hit of sweetness on the palate is a memorable, slightly tangy finish. With a light-to-medium roasted filter profile, we’ve tailored this coffee to produce magic across a variety of brewing methods. We recommend brewing it in v60 pourover, aeropress, kalita wave, origami or clever dripper. But hey, don’t ever limit yourself to anything we say. Go ahead and experiment! If you love taking your coffee black, you can’t go wrong with this lot. Process: the honey process involves washing off the outer skin of the coffee fruit and drying the mucilage-covered beans in a shaded environment. This allows for the beans to imbibe those gorgeous sugars from the surrounding fruit enhancing their sweet profile. Drying in shade allows to control the pace of drying which enables the grower to monitor sugar content and end the process at the desired level.

A sweet and round-bodied delight with lingering notes of mandarin, grapes and pecan nuts. This omni-roast brings great body and sweetness to an espresso while also holding great potential in filter brews with its scrumptious mixture of fruity and chocolate flavors. Colombia grows the largest volume of washed arabicas in the world and the country in general holds a great reputation globally. But we didn’t settle for just any colombian coffee. The hacienda la claudina is a highly reputed plantation located around 100km from medellín. We picked this washed lot as the best after roasting and cupping a number of different lots from across the region (of various grades with different post-harvest processing).

Sophisticated biochemistry aside, what is so special about anaerobic fermented coffees? They invariably give us precise flavour profiles that are immediately identifiable by both aroma and taste. This lot from gowri estate was produced by selectively harvesting cherries at a time when they were known to give maximum sweetness. They were rinsed with fresh spring water, further sorted by hand, rinsed again and then put aside to ferment anaerobically (in an environment of reduced oxygen) for 24 hours. They were then slow-dried on raised beds for 21 days allowing the beans to retain all of their potential sweetness. This coffee is an explosion of fruit flavors and gives notes of mango, guava and cashew.

This experimental lot from kudiraipanjan estate in the servarayan hills yields a jammy, creamy cup with notes of honeyed melons and green apple. A quick, clean finish ends with hints of freshly picked, sweet raspberries. The lactic fermentation process creates an environment allowing for the growth of lactic acid bacteria. The process takes place under anaerobic conditions (reduced oxygen environment) with the continuous scrutiny of sugar levels, oxygen and ph. The bacteria generate lactic acid that influences the flavor profile of the coffee. Following this process, the coffee is cleaned and dried under shade with the drying controlled until the desirable moisture level is achieved.

Petrichor is our go-to blend to accompany a long, engrossing novel on a grey, rainy day. This blend is a love affair between costa rican and indian coffees and has a mellow earthy flavor complemented by subtler notes of dry fruits.

This fascinating special prepared washed lot from biccode estate holds a number of pleasantly fruity expressions together in the cup, which is generally rare for a washed coffee.

Sweet plum notes combined with hints of green apple and a bittersweet walnut finish sends this coffee to the top of our espresso podium. This lot was sourced from an exclusive 5-acre block in harley estate called hasiru.Cool. The cherries were selectively harvested when they were red and ripe ensuring high sugar content. Following washing and partial pulping, the beans with surrounding mucilage were dried under shade on raised beds. Red honey coffees are dried slower with more shade than regular honey coffees allowing for more potential flavor to be imbibed into the beans before they are hulled and sent of to roasteries. We recommend this coffee for all espresso-based drinks (black and with milk), moka pot, french press and cold brew.

This lot comes from one of the pioneers of pulp sun dried coffees in india – kalledevarapura estate. Rounded in acidity with an aroma of dried fruits, the cup has a broad spectrum of plum-like flavors and finishes with subtle hints of anise making this a very memorable coffee. The pulp sun drying process involves washing off the skin of the coffee cherry along with a large part of the fruit and leaving on a few layers of mucilage. The beans with the surrounding mucilage are then sun-dried until the perfect moisture level is attained. This process yields a complex coffee that with our roast profile adapts its flavors to both espresso and manual brewing methods.
