Tasting notes

  • Delicate caramel
  • Floral hints
  • Crisp finish
  1. The blend

    A house blend from Chikmagalur, put together for home brewing and not for a café bar. It is built around the kit people actually own here: an AeroPress, a South Indian filter, a pour-over cone, a home espresso machine. Nothing in it is taken dark, so the cup stays clean and mildly aromatic.

  2. How it brews

    Soft caramel sweetness with floral edges, crisp enough to read as a bright espresso as well as a filter. It is a coffee for clarity over weight, so it will not give you body. If body is what you want, this is the wrong bag.

03questions
Is it available?

Not right now. It is between lots. The Notify me button on this page tells us you are waiting, and we let you know the day it is back.

Does it work in a South Indian filter?

Yes. It was roasted with that brewer in mind as much as the espresso machine. Grind fine, use about 25 g for 200 ml of water, and give it 15 to 25 minutes to drip.

Can I use it in an espresso machine?

Yes. It reads as a bright espresso, crisp and not heavy, with soft caramel and floral edges. Start at 18 g in and 36 g out, and let it rest a week or more after roasting.
