Sreeraksha Poornesh
Baarbara is grown by Sreeraksha Poornesh in Chikmagalur, Karnataka. The farm's SLN 795 goes fully washed, so the sugars in the cup read as caramel rather than ferment.

The reference washed Chikmagalur cup.
Sreeraksha Poornesh grows SLN 795 here and takes it fully washed, which is why this is the clearest example of the classic Chikmagalur district profile we sell: sweet caramel, cookie crunch, vanilla malt milkshake.

A typical year for this kind of country. This farm's own dates can run a few weeks either side.
Fully washed, roasted for silk
Roasted medium to medium-dark, which pulls the cup toward cocoa and nutty warmth. The acidity stays structured and the finish holds — sweet caramel, cookie crunch and a vanilla malt milkshake note that makes this the easiest "what does washed Chikmagalur coffee taste like" answer we have.
