Our first introduction to Yogitha and Aveen Rodrigues occurred at a brewing event, where we had the opportunity to experience the exceptional creations emerging from their farm. As roasters, we often experience a sense of anxiety when we encounter outstanding coffees late in the harvest season, fearing they might already be sold out. Fortunately, we managed to secure our first lot from Melkodige and immediately included it in our Showcase collection due to its exceptional qualities.

CIMA yeast is specifically developed for use in the specialty coffee industry to enhance the fermentation process. This yeast plays a vital role in coffee processing by contributing to the development of unique flavors and aromas. Our filter profile reveals a fascinating blend of fruitiness and dark chocolate, which is sure to pique interest and provide satisfaction. We’re eagerly anticipating more extraordinary coffees from Yogitha and Aveen, whose delightful approach to coffee is beautifully summarized in their simple yet profound quote: “The experience of a great cup of coffee is like sipping on a rainbow—it can stir our senses, rejuvenate our bodies, lift our spirits, and warm our hearts. The secret lies within the tiny coffee bean.”

Indulge in the sweet aroma of ripe papayas that unfolds into a rounded body with sparkling acidity. This sensory experience is enriched by luscious notes of guava and subtle hints of pecan nuts. As the flavor journey continues, it gracefully transitions to a satisfying dark chocolate finish.

This versatile coffee shines across all brewing methods, whether enjoyed through the elegance of pourovers, the precision of Aeropress, a refreshing cold brew, or the robust embrace of a French press. Perfect for those who seek a vibrant cup with layers of fruity richness and a smooth, decadent conclusion.

Ripe coffee cherries were selectively hand-harvested and then separated by density using a flotation tank. The cherries underwent a controlled 80-hour fermentation in anaerobic fermentation tanks, where Cima yeast was introduced. After fermentation, the cherries experienced a meticulous process to ensure optimal flavor development.

Following fermentation, the coffee was transferred to trays under shade for meticulous drying. It was carefully dried for more than twenty days to ensure even moisture removal, and the team of workers regularly checked the coffee to maintain optimal drying conditions. Once the coffee reached the desired moisture content, it was carefully bagged and allowed to rest, enabling the flavors to fully mature and develop.
