About This Coffee
Grown at 1,400–1,600 metres on the slopes of the Bababudangiri range, this lot from Kelagur Estate is a showcase of what natural processing can do to Indian Arabica. The cherries are hand-picked at peak ripeness and dried whole on raised African beds for 25 days, allowing the fruit sugars to ferment gently into the bean. The result is a coffee with extraordinary complexity — bursting with blueberry and dark cherry on the nose, transitioning to dark chocolate and honey on the palate, with a long, sweet finish.
