Monsoon winds swell the bean; acidity leaves, body stays.

SLN 795 from Chikkamagalur, held for weeks in the humid monsoon winds of India's western coast. The beans swell, shed acidity and deepen in body.

We roast it medium rather than dark — slower, lighter — to keep that density while opening the sweetness and texture. The cup runs low in acidity, syrupy, woody and lightly spiced, with a long finish.

Dense and low-acid, which is why it sits so well under milk.

Roaster's note

The heritage profile kept intact, with a cleaner and more modern roast approach.

Storing it

Seal the bag after every use and keep it somewhere cool, dry and dark. Not the fridge, not the freezer — both move moisture into the beans.
