This spiced and nutty coffee is sourced from Chandragiri Hill in Karnataka, part of the Western Ghats in India.
This area is renowned for their stunning landscapes and dense forests. Although India is often seen as a tea-growing and drinking nation, its coffee production actually predates its tea industry. The region's cool climate, ample rainfall, and fertile soil create ideal conditions for steady growing beans - allowing full development of rich and complex flavour profiles during maturation.
Local farmers around Chandragiri Hill use sustainable methods to produce coffee that reflects the region's rich biodiversity and quality, making it stand out globally for its distinctive flavour. This coffee is washed - meaning the processing involves removing the cherry's outer fruit layer before the beans are fermented, washed, and dried, resulting in a cleaner, brighter flavour profile.
This coffee makes for a velvety and spiced espresso, with tasting notes of cashew, bay leaf, and green apple.
