  1. Where it grows

    Koraput is in Odisha’s Eastern Ghats, where arabica is grown by tribal smallholders on a few acres each. This lot is S.795, processed red honey and grown between 900 and 1,400 m. Lots from Koraput vary more from season to season than an established estate’s do, so treat each one as its own coffee.

  2. Red honey

    In a honey process the fruit comes off but part of the sticky mucilage stays on the seed while it dries. The colour names how much stays and how slowly it dries, and red sits in the middle of the range, between white and black. Here it keeps the citrus bright while the sugars build depth beneath. We roast it to Depth 43, a true omni, for filter and espresso alike.

What is red honey?

A honey process. The fruit is taken off, but part of the sticky mucilage stays on the seed while it dries. The colour describes how much stays and how slowly it dries. Red sits between white and black honey.

Is it for filter or espresso?

Both. It is roasted as a true omni. On a V60, 15 g to 240 ml at 92 to 94 °C stays candy-bright. As espresso, around 1:2.1, it turns to marmalade with soft acidity.
