Colombia is the third-largest producer of coffee in the world and the largest producer of washed Arabica. Colombia Supremo refers to the largest size of beans from Colombia. Supremo is a screen size of 17 or 18. Huila is framed by the Central and Eastern ranges of the Andes and greatly benefits from the nitrogen-rich volcanic soil. Most of the Region sits in the Magdalena Valley which provides great variation in climate. Most of the farms in the Huila region are between 1200 and 1800 m.a.s.l.

The DCM decaffeination process used for this lot ensures a sweet cup with brightened acidity. The Omni Roast profile perfected for this lot helps the coffee perform well in espresso and manual brewing methods.

The DCM decaffeination method is thought by some in the coffee industry to maintain better flavour compared to other methods. This process involves soaking coffee beans in hot water to extract as much caffeine as possible from the coffee beans. Following this, the beans are removed and methylene chloride solvent is added to bond with the caffeine. After the methylene chloride-caffeine mixture is skimmed off from the surface of the mixture, the beans are returned to reabsorb the liquid. This method of decaffeination removes more than 97% of caffeine from a batch of coffee and ensures a rich and delicious flavour.

Extensive research data has led the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to determine that methylene chloride is safe for use in coffee decaffeination. While the FDA regulation allows for up to 10 parts per million (ppm) of residual methylene chloride, actual coffee-industry practice results in levels that are 100 times lower than this amount.

We’ve explored several coffee origins around the world but Kenya remains one of our favourites.

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!

  • 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.

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!
