Attikan White Mist 2023 (India)

from 490.00

The new harvest of Attikan White Mist is here! Enjoy this timeless nutty and chocolatey profile that has been revamped in 2023 to enhance every flavor note that makes this coffee a customer favourite.

  • Producers: Hamsini & Sriram Appadurai (Sangameshwar Coffee Estates)
  • Region: Bilgirirangana Hills
  • Type: 100% Arabica
  • Roast Profile: Espresso Roast
  • Altitude: 1650 MASL
  • Process: Washed (Double Fermentation)
  • Varieties: SL9
  • Flavor Notes: Baker’s Chocolate, Roasted Nuts, Cedar

The first phrase that graced the lips of our Q-Grader when she analyzed this coffee was – “Bold and Beautiful.” By pushing this roast into medium dark territory, we get a lovely plethora of dark chocolate notes harmoniously dancing with nutty aromas and a rounded cedar finish. It is ideal for espresso brewing but is sure to be a favourite for Moka Pot enthusiasts and cold brew fanatics who experiment with cocktails and other brave concoctions. With excellent body and good solubility, espresso-brewing should be a breeze for professional and home-baristas alike. But hey, we’re not limiting this lot to 9-bar geeks alone. If you love surprises as much as we do, go ahead and try it in a Kalita or an Aeropress!

This coffee comes from Attikan Estate – a farm passionately nurtured over decades and proudly managed and pushed to new heights by current generation coffee producers Appadurai Sriram and his wife Hamsini. Attikan or the ‘White Hill’ is eternally soaked with mist giving the coffee a unique taste profile. The farm is situated at the highest altitude where coffee is cultivated in South India . Being flanked by a reserve forest, the wilderness helps Attikan maintain its pristine nature with no electricity or mobile connectivity.

Kudiraipanjan Watermelon Naturals – 2023 (India)

from 550.00
  • Producer: PKC Family
  • Region: Servarayan Hills
  • Type: 100% Arabica
  • Roast Profile: Filter Roast
  • Altitude: 1220 – 1400 MASL
  • Process: Watermelon Fermentation
  • Varieties: SL9, SL5b
  • Flavor Notes: Honeysuckle, Pear, Vanilla

We’re bringing you a refresher of this bestselling lot that was initially released for International Coffee Day in 2021 that 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.

Terrazas Del Pisque – Bourbon Anaerobic Naturals (Ecuador)

from 780.00
  • Producer: Arnaud Causse
  • Region: Pichincha, Ecuador
  • Type: 100% Arabica
  • Roast Profile: Filter Roast
  • Altitude: 2100 MASL
  • Process: Anaerobic Fermented Naturals
  • Varieties: Bourbon
  • Flavor Notes: Lemon, Chocolate, Raspberry, Red Wine

Ecuador has been known for adopting Kenya’s methods of processing, producing mostly washed and double-washed coffees. Over the past decade, producers have been applying new methods of cultivation and processing, especially within the Loja region. We’ve seen an increase in Natural processed coffees coming from Ecuador which compliments the country’s clean, high-body cups with additional sweetness.

Finca Terrazas del Pisque is a 38-hectare farm of which 15 hectares are planted in coffee, the other available land is used for growing avocados and citrus fruits. Located in Ecuador’s Pichincha region, this farm boasts an annual production of almost 15,000 kg of specialty coffee a year. In this area of Ecuador, harvest happens nearly year-round and only the ripest cherries are selected for processing. Once picked, cherries are processed as Washed or Naturals, and sometimes fermented Anaerobically first. For anaerobic lots like this one, cherries are placed in a sealed environment and anaerobically fermented under controlled conditions before being placed on raised beds and finished using the natural drying process for an average of 28-40 days.

This lot expresses winey fruit acidity with scrumptious lemon, raspberry and chocolate notes. The Bourbon varietal is a Typica-related variety that is the result of a natural mutation of Typica-derivative coffees cultivated in Yemen and transplanted to Île Bourbon (now called Réunion Island).

  • Roast Profile: Filter Roast

  • Process: Honey Sun Dried
  • Varieties:  Chandragiri
  • Flavor Notes: Orange Blossom, Grapefruit, Cola Candy

Sit back, close your eyes and indulge in Thogarihunkal Honey – a work of art will take your taste buds dancing down candy lane. With rich and juicy acidity, each sip of this coffee will bring you a serendipitous encounter with mysterious notes that we are yet unable to name. Overlaying these mysterious expressions is an unmissable aroma of oranges and grapefruit with a splashing dash of cola candy on your palette. Here’s a coffee that will quench your morning thirst, make for an awakening initiation to a lazy Sunday brunch and even light up your Friday evenings before you head out to party. Black is the way we like it with the Chemex brewing the juiciest cup, the Aeropress brewing the sweetest and a V60 displaying a more balanced rendition of this coffee. So, go ahead, indulge!

Process: Only the sweetest cherries – with a brix level above 18 – are selectively handpicked in the honey process. The cherries are then sorted to eliminate fruit that have not completely ripened yet. The fruit are then pulped without using water. Pulping is done such that some of the mucilage is still left over the inner parchment. The first stage of drying involves drying in open sunlight for 3 days. Following this, drying takes place on raised beds in shade to slow down the process and reduce the impact of sunlight. The coffees are finally stored and allowed to rest for 30 days before it is shipped of to the mills.

As we traverse the vast and expanding landscape of complex coffees birthed by even more complex special fermentation techniques, there is a sense of nostalgia and attachment to washed lots. And when we stumble across a washed lot with distinguished characteristics and explosively bright and sweet expressions, we cannot help but make it our daily driver coffee. Our relationship with Unnakki Estate began through continued conversations with the young and passionate Utsav Gowda who orchestrates the show at the farm. An aspiring lawyer shuffling between classes, exams and protecting his harvest against unexpected rains at the coffee farm, Utsav is the perfect representation of the future of Indian Coffee.

We are delighted to bring you this juicy washed lot that displays scrumptious expressions of cane sugar and apricot with undertones of natural honey. Enjoy this diverse coffee in Aeropress, V60, French Press, Chemex, traditional drip filters and espresso!

Venkids Valley Washed (India) – Fine Robusta

from 375.00
  • Producers: Pavan & Shilpa Nanjappa
  • Region: Coorg
  • Type: 100% Fine Robusta
  • Roast Profile: Omni Roast
  • Altitude: 800 – 1150 MASL
  • Process: Washed
  • Varieties: Old Peradeniya, CxR
  • Flavor Notes: Cardamom, Nutmeg, Dark Chocolate

We’ve made much progress on our exploration of Fine Robustas in the effort to showcase the high quality of Robusta coffee produced in India. Most of Indian Robusta is exported to Europe and Australia while the major volume of what stays in the country is used by Instant Coffee manufacturers and roasters focused on mass-produced commercial blends for Espresso and South Indian filter Coffee. With revolutionary advancements in farming, fermentation and post-harvest processing, our producers are now inducing a great deal of excitement in the Robusta space. This washed lot from Venkids Valley estate delivers a lip-smacking espresso with spicy expressions of nutmeg and cardamom and a strong dark chocolate finish. Our omni-roast has helped tailor this lot for an interesting experience in manual brews as well with Pourover brewing and Aeropress delivering a full-bodied cup with similar spice notes and an underlying jaggery sweetness.

If you are a Robusta enthusiast or a coffee lover with a curious mind, we highly recommend this lot that showcases the promising future of Indian Washed Robustas.
