Our search for the immaculate espresso began when we were embraced by the warm welcome of Ramdev and his parents Shantha and Nagesh as we drove through the gates of Bettadamalali Estate in early 2023. A pristine farm nestled in the Baba Budan Giri hills of Chikmagalur, this place is more than a commercial operation – it is a garden of nature’s best delights. With scientific approaches to farming complemented by highly structured operations, Bettadamalali produce some of the best washed Arabicas we have encountered in recent times. The farm has been a long-term partner to our sister enterprise Indcaffe – who have over the years exported several hundreds of tons of washed Arabica for them to specialty houses in Europe. We decided to grab our own little share of the treasure this year as we cycled through multiple lots to find this gem that would help us curate a delicious espresso.
Expect a sweet, rich-bodied liquor in your cup with a viscous creamy texture that will hug your palate closely before letting go. Sweet honey and dark cocoa notes preceded by a savory aroma of roasted nuts together create a mesmerizing espresso that is testament to the great work of art that has been accomplished in the fields of Bettadamalali Estate. Enjoy it black or hit it with milk!
