UdaygiriEstate

Washed arabica, roasted for weight.

A washed 100% Arabica lot roasted medium-dark for weight without losing the plot — dark chocolate, roasted almond and molasses with a lift of orange peel that keeps a deep roast honest.

It is October, and the cherry is ripening on the branch. Picking starts in November.

A typical year for this kind of country. This farm's own dates can run a few weeks either side.

What we can say for certain

Udaygiri is in Karnataka. Our lot sheet does not give us the district, the elevation, the grower or the size of the farm, and rather than borrow numbers from the region we have left those blank — the ledger above says so, and the map shows the state, not a pin.

What we do know is in the cup: a washed, 100% Arabica lot, roasted medium-dark for weight.

Washed, roasted for structure

The washed process keeps the cup articulate where a deep roast usually flattens it. On filter the citrus is subtle rather than sharp — just enough to lift the cocoa and brown sugar underneath. As espresso it goes dense and bittersweet, and the chocolate and nut hold their shape rather than collapsing into ash.

What we buy

1 on the shelf today

“Agni 03 is the coffee we point to when someone wants body and roast character without losing washed clarity — a deep roast that still has the clarity of a washed coffee. It's also one of the more affordable single-estate lots on the shelf, which matters for a daily cup.”
