This is our classic Indian coffee flavor profile - a well balanced coffee with sweet and savory flavor notes. Tasting notes include brown sugar and warming spices with a fruity floral undertone. Clean silky texture, balanced acidity with a sweet aftertaste.
Brew Guide:
Good for Filter & Espresso.
Our favorite brew method is the Chemex to get crisp acidity and subtle fruit/floral notes. As an espresso, this coffee is smooth, chocolatey, nutty, and just delicious in the cup!
Chemex: 20g coffee, medium-coarse grind + 300g water @ 200F -> bloom for 45s and then brew for 3.5 mins.
Espresso: Optimal brew ratio 1:1.36 - 22g in, 30g out, over 36s extraction.
