Dates & Raisins – Baarbara Red Honey

from ₹670.00

Producers: Sreeraksha Pournesh
Region: Baba Budan Giri
Type: 100% Arabica
Roast Profile: Espresso Roast
Altitude: 1170 – 1600 MASL
Process: Red Honey
Varieties: Selection 795
Flavor Notes: Bright green-apple like malic acidity and rich, creamy body. Notes of dried dates and raisins, hints of stone fruit and a tangy, grapy finish.

The first espresso roast in the Showcase series is finally here! And it also turns out to be the first honey. Dates & Raisins is an effort at creating a sweet and viscous espresso that boasts of enough balance to ensure high performance in milk-based beverages too. The cherries were tenderly handpicked at an optimal brix level of 23 in the sprawling grounds of Baarbara Estate at altitudes ranging from 1170 to 1600 meters above sea level. They underwent stringent sorting to guarantee that only the ripest, most exquisite fruits made the cut. To maintain the coffee’s purity, pristine stream water was used to wash the cherries, washing away any impurities. This meticulous cleansing process guaranteed a clean slate for the next stages of production.

Following this, the cherries began their transformative journey. Carefully placed in fermentation tanks for precisely 48 hours, they underwent partial pulping without water, setting the stage for further flavour development in the drying process. The cherries were rested on elevated beds with a considerable amount of mucilage left on to create potential for their distinctive sweetness and character. Over the course of 22 days, shaded drying ensured the cherries were gently dehydrated, preserving their nuanced flavours and aromas.

The result? A coffee of unparalleled quality that beckons to espresso enthusiasts. With its remarkable density and sweetness, “Dates & Raisins” is tailor-made for espresso aficionados seeking a refined and captivating experience. Displaying a captivating malic acidity reminiscent of crisp green apples, this coffee boasts a rich and creamy body that’s perfectly suited for a range of espresso experiments and all milk-based beverages.

Grapefruit Cola – Kerehaklu Yeast Anoxic Naturals

from ₹690.00

Producers: Pranoy & Ajoy Thipaiah
Region: Aldur, Chikmagalur
Type: 100% Arabica
Roast Profile: Filter Roast
Altitude: 1160 MASL
Process: Yeast Anoxic Naturals
Varieties: Selection 6
Flavor Notes: Lavender aroma and bright citric acidity with a medium body, jaggery sweetness and notes of honeydew melons, sugary grapefruit and sweet caramel.

We’re adding a new jewel to the showcase collection – “Grapefruit Cola” – a unique lot of yeast anoxic naturals produced with immense care and attention to detail by Pranoy & Ajoy Thipaiah at Kerehaklu Estate. Cultivated at an elevation of 1160 meters above sea level in Aldur, Chikmagalur, this coffee embodies the essence of its origin and the innovation of its producers.

The cherries were nurtured amidst a canopy of Red Cedar and Indian Beech trees complemented by rich, loose, and well-drained soil high in humus. This unique environment, combined with the region’s rich biodiversity (including Malabar Squirrels and a variety of reptiles), creates a one-of-a-kind terroir that lends the coffee its distinctive character. The fruits were picked at an optimal brix level of 24.5. The fermentation process, a true testament to groundbreaking innovation, involved a carefully crafted yeast concoction. The concoction was inoculated on the fruits for 56 hours in ambient conditions of shade, aeration, and regular mixing. Subsequently, the coffee was dried for 23 days in a polyhouse, with raking on raised beds occurring every 30 minutes, ensuring precise control of the drying process. The coffees were further rested in jute bags elevated off the ground ensuring the full development of flavor potential before it made its way to our roastery.

Our carefully tailored filter roast profile unlocks a mesmerizing lavender aroma that will turn your environment into a brewing temple. The first sip makes the cup come alive with a vibrant citric acidity, accompanied by a velvety medium body that coats the palate. A delightful jaggery sweetness emerges, dancing gracefully with enchanting notes of honeydew melons and sugary grapefruit. This enchanting tale of flavor meets its epilogue in a sweet caramel finish that beckons you for another engulfing slurp.

We invite you to participate in this interesting rendezvous of nature’s finest elements, expert craftsmanship, and a passion for sustainable coffee production, all encapsulated within each invigorating cup.

Jasmine-Kissed Cranberry – the first of our exciting Showcase microlot collection – is the result of a remarkable 104-hour extended yeast carbonic maceration process of the Selection 9 Varietal masterminded by Ashok Patre at Ratnagiri Estate.
