Pink Guava & Shiraz – Zoya 96H Anaerobic Naturals

from ₹640.00

  • Producers: Danish Ali
  • Region: Baba Budan Giri
  • Type: 100% Arabica
  • Roast Profile: Filter Roast
  • Altitude: 1275 MASL
  • Process: 96 Hour Anaerobic Fermented Naturals
  • Varieties: Chandragiri
  • Flavor Notes: Medium body and mild grape-like acidity complemented by notes of ripe pink guavas and sweet raisins. Subtle hints of shiraz wine and almonds in the aftertaste.

Pink Guava & Shiraz is the result of our exciting association with young Danish Ali of Caffeine Nirvana who operates Zoya Estate in the Baba Budan Giri region. Meticulously handpicked ripe and juicy cherries from an altitude of 1275 meters above sea level were subjected to a strictly monitored anaerobic fermentation process in airtight bags. The fermentation was allowed for a period of 96 hours in an environment of high temperature and low humidity. The bags were strategically placed in shaded areas to ensure controlled fermentation. Following this, the coffee was spread on mats and sundried over a period of 12 days. The gradual drying process allows the coffee to develop maximum flavor potential which is later unlocked in the roasting stage.

Our filter profile highlights the exquisite features of this lot including a mild and pleasing grape-like acidity gracefully dancing on a medium-bodied, slurpy texture. This is followed by prominent notes of pink guava and sweet raisins evoking a tropical symphony on the palate. A delightful aftertaste of shiraz wine with subtle hints of almonds lingers on the taste buds to leave you with a satisfying finish.

We are proud to be associated with Caffeine Nirvana who are committed to producing coffees with more complexity each season. Young Danish has put his heart and soul into the production of this coffee and it has been a pleasure working by his side to bring this delightful lot into your cup.

Below are a few important notes from the planter,

We grow our coffee in thick and heavy shade. The main reason for the fruitiness and better bean taste in our coffee is the first layer of native fruit trees. These add to the humic acid content of the soil and nourishment.

Our region is at a particular point in the Chandra Drona hill range that, it is relatively dry in the summers and wet for 6-7 months, without any sunlight at all. This double whammy of climate is another reason for the regions superior bean quality, nothing less than an SCA score of 84.  The bean maturity is very slow and we traditionally used to start picking on December 25th.

We do not use any herbicide whatsoever, and no use of any harmful chemicals.

The plant varieties grown are Selection 795, Chandragiri and SL 5B, along with a few Catuai, Catimor and Bourbon.

5B is the most dominant variety, which has adapted to the climatic conditions very well and with superior bean characteristics, Brix level around 24-27.

We try to incorporate spiritual practices into our estate growing and how we do business. With the implementation of spirituality into everyday life, we feel effects of every single living organism connected to us and an increase in quality of life and happiness.

Process: Only the sweetest cherries – with a brix level above 18 – are selectively handpicked in the honey process. The cherries are then sorted to eliminate fruit that have not completely ripened yet. The fruit are then pulped without using water. Pulping is done such that some of the mucilage is still left over the inner parchment. The first stage of drying involves drying in open sunlight for 3 days. Following this, drying takes place on raised beds in shade to slow down the process and reduce the impact of sunlight. The coffees are finally stored and allowed to rest for 30 days before it is shipped of to the mills.

Tangy Mango – Zoya 144H Anaerobic Naturals

  • Producers: Danish Ali
  • Region: Baba Budan Giri
  • Type: 100% Arabica
  • Roast Profile: Espresso Roast
  • Altitude: 1275 MASL
  • Process: 144H Anaerobic Naturals
  • Varieties: Chandragiri, Selection 795
  • Flavor Notes: Tangy malic acidity with rich, syrupy body. Refreshing mosambi aroma with notes of mangoes, prunes, and hints of litchi leading to a sweet and nutty finish.

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. Fermentation was conducted anaerobically in airtight bags for a whopping 144 hours, which contributed to the development of complexity in the coffee. 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.
