About
This Red honey micro lot was created by renowned coffee producer, Nandan Gowda who is a 7th generation coffee farmer from Thogarihunkal Estate.
Thogarihunkal has been making great coffee since 1857 and has mastered the art of growing Speciality coffee by experimenting with different processing methods. They have been awarded the Best Cup of India award several times. These coffees are grown, processed and dried at the picturesque facility owned by the estate in the Baba Budan giri range, above the town of chikmagalur of Karnataka india.
Honey Sun-Dried process Coffee cherries are selectively picked ( Only the ripest cherries are picked ), sorted, washed to remove the dirt, pulped with some or all of the mucilage remaining on the seed, and then moved to drying patios or beds for a period of 20-28 Days. This Honey sun-dried coffee is Sweet and slightly fruity. It is full-bodied, sweet & syrupy. We really like it as a Pour-over due to its candy-like notes, and as an Aeropress over ice due to its natural sweetness that works well to cool down on a hot summer day. It also has a complex flavour of Almond skin, which makes the coffee cup exciting, making it perfect for a manual brew.
100% Arabica, Varietal – Cauvery, Popularly known as Catimor. It is a cross between Caturra & ‘Hybrido-de-Timor’. Caturra is a natural mutant of the famous Bourbon variety. Thus, Cauvery inherited the high yielding and superior quality attributes of Caturra and the resistance of ‘Hybrido-de-Timor’.
