Dunduga Estate Washed

About This Coffee

A washed coffee from Dunduga Estate in the Mudigere region of India, run by third-generation planter D S Raghu and his wife Shanthala. Established in the 1950s, the estate cultivates both Arabica and Robusta and is intercropped with Pepper, Areca, and jungle trees including Jackfruit, Mahogany, Rosewood, Mango, and Red and White Cedar. The coffee features a rich, strong, and smoky profile reminiscent of Turkish Tobacco, with notes of Black Pepper and Malt.
