Kiri AA Top (Kenya)

from 610.00
  • Producer: Kiri Washing Station
  • Region: Mount Kenya, Kirinyaga
  • Type: 100% Arabica
  • Roast Profile: Filter Roast
  • Altitude: 1450 MASL
  • Process: Washed
  • Varieties: Ruiru 11, SL 28, SL 34, Batian
  • Flavor Notes: Blueberry, Walnut, Concord Grape

We’ve explored several coffee origins around the world but Kenya remains one of our favourites. Producing some of the world’s most exotic tasting coffees, Kenyan lots are renowned for their exhilarating acidity, bright and clear floral and fruit notes with juicy body and pleasant nutty aftertastes. These beans are generally super-dense packing explosive flavours that are easy to bring out in your cup without the need for complex brewing recipes.

Kenya yields a biennial crop with the primary harvest between October and December and the second harvest between June and August. Our lot from the Kiri Washing Station in the Kirinyaga County was harvested in the primary season and arrived in India in February. We have spent over a month profiling it to ensure we deliver a coffee to you that is delicious, juicy, packed with exotic flavours and ready to make your palate explode. Manual brewing methods are best suited for this filter roast with our suggestions being Kalita, V60, Chemex and Aeropress. The coffee will also work as an espresso if you are someone who likes sparkling acidity and tangy, fruity and strong winey notes in your shot (make sure you experiment with grind size as this is a filter roast and it will require some dial-in patience to achieve the ideal shot).

Enjoy notes of blueberries and concord grapes bouncing of a juicy, lingering texture to end with an anti-climactic walnut finish. This coffee is made for all varieties of coffee enthusiasts with diverse preferences and is something you should definitely not miss. Slurp away!

Emily – Ratnagiri Anaerobic Naturals (Microlot)

from 565.00
  • Producers: Ashok Patre
  • Region: Chikmagalur
  • Type: 100% Arabica
  • Roast Profile: Filter Roast
  • Altitude: 1340 MASL
  • Process: Anaerobic Fermented Naturals
  • Varieties: Catuai
  • Flavor Notes: Marmalada, Gooseberry, Peach

Emily – a tribute to one of America’s most daring and influential poets Emily Dickinson – comes from Ratnagiri Estate, the playground of coffee fermentation expert Ashok Patre. We sought a unique lot of coffee that did not just push beyond boundaries but explored flavourscapes that still only exist in the imagination.

While the great Emily Dickinson’s poetry rose to prominence only posthumously, it went on to influence people around the world over the next two centuries. Her poetry was a keen observation of the inescapable limitations that were immanent in her society at the time. Her words shed light on what could be possible but was still unrealized. In an era where women were often shunned from expressing themselves honestly, her verses broke those chains and expressed imagined and even imaginable escapes from the invisible prisons of society. This Anaerobic Fermented lot of Naturals from Ratnagiri Estate is a tribute to the future of coffee processing – an era during which coffee will no longer be limited by any prejudices.

We hope you enjoy the sweet notes of marmalade and peach in your cup that will give way to a tangy, gooseberry finish.

Process: Ripe cherries are selectively handpicked when they achieve the desired brix level and are fermented for 72 hours in specifically designed tanks for anaerobic fermentation. Following this, they are dried on raised beds until they achieve the ideal moisture content.

Ginsberg – Baarbara Carbonic Maceration (Microlot)

from 535.00
  • Producers: Sreeraksha Pournesh, Poojya Prasad
  • Region: Chikmagalur
  • Type: 100% Arabica
  • Roast Profile: Omni Roast
  • Altitude: 1170 – 1600 MASL
  • Process: Carbonic Macecration
  • Varieties: SL795
  • Flavor Notes: Mandarin, Black Cherry, Nectarine

Carbonic Maceration as a process was extremely popular in the wine industry before it exploded into the universe of coffee. Groundbreaking, diverse and ever-changing, the process is used by creative producers looking to unlock hidden potential in the coffees that they grow. Baarbara Estate, located at the foothills of Baba Budan Giri, has been producing coffee for over a century, and with a clear vision in mind, have played a major role in promoting Indian specialty coffee to roasters across India. We dedicate this lot to beat poet Allen Ginsberg – the founding father of the Beat Generation who brought us groundbreaking poems like Howl and Kaddish that defined the counterculture of the sixties and the seventies. Honest, gritty and uncompromising, he transcended the structural limitations of traditional poetry and introduced the literary world to an improvisational rhythmic style of poetry that channeled raw and honest emotions.

The carbonic maceration process gives this coffee a winey texture and will roll onto your palate like a refreshing, juicy concoction. As expected, this coffee is bursting with sweet and fruity notes. You will find black cherries, nectarine and mandarin that tend to linger and leave a smooth and pleasing aftertaste. A huge congratulations to Sreeraksha Pournesh who with his hard work and passion has brought forth this gem of Indian coffee.

Kilimbi Honey Red Bourbon (Rwanda)

from 550.00
  • Producer: Joseph Ntarindwa
  • Region: Nymasheke
  • Type: 100% Arabica
  • Roast Profile: Omni Roast
  • Altitude: 1650 – 1850 MASL
  • Process: Honey Sun Dried
  • Varieties: Red Bourbon
  • Flavor Notes: Rooibos Tea, Red Apple, Champak

This is the first time we are bringing you a lot from Rwanda and we are thrilled that it is honey sun dried – the popular post-harvest method that has only been recently implemented in Rwanda and is attracting amazing feedback from roasters around the world. Furthermore, the varietal in this lot is Red Bourbon and it’s grown at a  staggering altitudes of 1650 – 1850 MASL which sets up a recipe for definite deliciousness. This coffee comes from Joseph Ntarindwa who runs the award-winning Kilimbi Washing Station – the first producers and exporters of honey processed coffees in the history of Rwanda.

Similar to other coffees in this region, you will get subtle tea-like and sweet herbal notes in your cup. Our omni roast sets up potential for great results in espresso and manual brew with the former requiring some experimentation from the brewer’s end to achieve the ideal levels of acidity and sweetness. As you grind your beans or first unzip your bag of ground coffee, immerse yourself in the very subtle and citric aroma of Magnolia Champaca (Champak). Rooibos tea and sweet red apple are notes to look out for in your cup that will have a medium tactile and a milk chocolate hint in the aftertaste. Our journey with Rwanda has just begun! We would love to have you join us on what promises to be a long expedition.

Las Margaritas Red Bourbon – Honey Sun Dried (Colombia)

from 1,500.00
  • Producer: Café Granja La Esperanza
  • Region: Valle Del Cauca, Colombia
  • Type: 100% Arabica
  • Roast Profile: Omni Roast
  • Altitude: 1700 – 2000 MASL
  • Process: Honey Sun Dried
  • Varieties: Red Bourbon
  • Flavor Notes: Cantaloupe, Peach, Tomato, Lychee

We bring you the first of two lots this year from Colombia’s most prestigious super-specialty producer – Café Granja La Esperanza. They manage 3 farms: Cerro Azul, Potosi and Las Margaritas. This lot is the exotic variety from Finca Las Margaritas – Red Bourbon. While it is not as delicate as Gesha, Red Bourbon is one of the most culturally and genetically important Arabica varieties in the world and is known for outstanding quality in the cup when grown at the highest altitudes.

Bourbon is one of the earliest cultivars of the Typica group. It was first introduced in 1860 to Southern Brazil. From Bourbon Island in the Indian Ocean (now La Reunión), where it was cultivated by French missionaries in the early 1700s, it later spread into South and Central America. Bourbon is known for its distinctively sweet and delicate flavours. The plants are fragile and don’t produce as much fruit as some other varieties.

This coffee was first fermented in open tanks for 19 – 22 hours. Following this, it was de-pulped without water and fermented in mucilage for another 35 hours. Water is a precious resource high in the Cauca Valley, so the producers work hard to reduce their water consumption by using this alternative process. After the second fermentation, the remaining mucilage was removed mechanically, and the cherries were dried in mechanical driers to achieve a moisture content of 11%. This carefully calculated process combined with our arduously researched roast profile creates a beautiful flavour landscape exhibiting delicate notes of cantaloupe melon, peach and lychee. The cup finishes with a unique, tangy tomato finish that ensures the coffee leaves a strong mark in your memory. The cup is further characterized by a creamy, buttery body and a lasting sweetness that remains on your palate for prolonged periods after you have finished your cup!

Your thorough enjoyment of this coffee will be a testament to the high degree of detail and hard work that has gone into producing this cup. Relish it!
