About this coffee

Country: Guatemala Region: Acatenango Farm : Perez family's farms Processing: Washed Varietal: Caturra, Bourbon, Sarchimor ABOUT THE COFFEE The cup is dominated by cocoa, walnut, and subtle notes of tobacco leaves. The profile is full and smooth, with very low acidity and a pleasantly long, dry finish.This character is shaped by both the growing location and the processing method. The coffee comes from the Chikmagalur region in the state of Karnataka—a mountainous part of India considered the birthplace of Indian coffee. According to legend, it was here that Baba Budan brought the first coffee seeds from Yemen, laying the foundation for Indian coffee cultivation. Today, on the slopes of the Bababudangiri range, surrounded by the extraordinarily rich nature of the Western Ghats, grows an Arabica with an exceptionally classic character. Chinennahally Estate has been owned by a single family for over 70 years. The coffee trees grow under a two-tier shade of native trees, and only mature cherries are selected during harvesting. After being processed using the washed method and sun-dried, the beans retain a clean, elegant profile where chocolate and nutty notes take center stage. We chose this coffee because it is a great example of classic Indian Arabica. Without excessive fruitiness, but with depth, a velvety body, and a character that will be appreciated by both espresso lovers and those looking for a calm, everyday cup. This is coffee from the place where the history of Indian coffee began—and in our opinion, you can taste that tradition in it. Store in a cool, dry place.
