For us - coffees from India have a distinct originality that is normally hidden by many roasters within espresso blends rather than featuring as a single estate offering. Not by us though - we view India as a provider of some of the world's most valuable coffee profiles.
Cup profiles of quality come in the main from deeply forested mature coffee estates, such as this experiment with botanical variety and processing method to produce in our view a distinctive cup value capable of pleasing the most purists.
With Ethiopian heritage in the varietal and processed by the unorthodox pulped natural method, in which the skins are removed but the sweet fruit pulp is allowed to remain on the beans as they dry.
The result here is restrained, elegant and delicate balance of aromatic wood, flowers and dark chocolate notes.
This estate (Sethuraman Estate) is located in the Chikmagalur district near the town of Magundi, on the Bhadra river and sits at an altitude of 2500 feet.
