The second showcase lot from Danish Ali’s Zoya Estate is Tangy Mango – a 144-hour anaerobically fermented batch of naturals, carefully processed and roasted to deliver a syrupy and sweet espresso with ripe fruit expressions.

The process began with the meticulous handpicking of fruits at their peak ripeness, followed by the removal of any floaters.

The resulting beans were slowly dried under shaded conditions and consistently raked until they reached the ideal moisture level.

After days of careful profiling, we have identified the perfect espresso roast profile that accentuates a tangy malic acidity, complemented by a syrupy, juicy texture. An invigorating aroma of mosambi leads to pronounced notes of mangoes and prunes, with subtle hints of litchi. The experience concludes with a sweet and nutty finish, making it a fully-rounded espresso that offers ample room for experimentation.
