A fully washed SLN 795 from the Kaimara belt of Chikmagalur, screened to AA and grown by Samia Subhani. The cup opens clean and citrus-bright, then settles into spiced caramel and candied jackfruit.
Roasted to Depth 62, medium dark, so the brightness turns into sweet cocoa and golden honeydew, with florals under the sweetness and not over it. Brew it as pour-over, in a Chemex or in a French press. It is the washed twin of Jungle Jam, the same bean dried differently, so it is cleaner and less fruity than its sibling. The two are worth tasting side by side.
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.

Grind immediately before you brew, and use filtered water. Ground coffee loses more in an hour than whole bean loses in a week.

Where it grows
Kaimara is a belt of growing land in Chikmagalur, between 1,000 and 1,250 m. It is not a single named estate, so we do not call it one. Samia Subhani grows SLN 795 there, and this lot is screened to AA and fully washed. Washing is what leaves the cup clean and citrus-bright at the start.

Washed, not natural
Jungle Jam is the same SLN 795 from the same grower, dried whole in the cherry. Candy Paradox is the washed version, so the only thing that changed is how the fruit came off the seed. Roasting to Depth 62 settles the brightness into sweet cocoa and golden honeydew, with florals under the sweetness and not over it. The AA screen roasts evenly, which keeps the finish crisp.

Not today. This coffee is between lots. Press Notify me on this page and tell us you want it; we will let you know the day it comes back.
How is it different from Jungle Jam?
Same SLN 795, same grower. Candy Paradox is washed and roasted medium dark, so it is cleaner, with spiced caramel and honeydew. Jungle Jam is natural and roasted lighter, with tropical fruit and raisin. Brewed side by side they show what processing does.
Is it good in a French press?
Yes. French press, pour-over and Chemex are the three brewers it was roasted for. Grind coarse, skim at four minutes, press at eight, and do not plunge to the bottom.
