India Kerehaklu Anoxic Washed

About This Coffee

This single-origin coffee from Kerehaklu plantation in the Western Ghats region of India is grown at 1200 meters elevation. The Selection 5b variety is processed using an anoxic washed method, featuring fermentation in an oxygen-reduced environment using local yeasts, with a technique inspired by wine-making (Mosto). The coffee presents crisp acidic notes with tasting notes of green apple, pecan, and lemon. The estate has been chemical-free since 2016 and features exceptional biodiversity with shade-grown coffee under citrus and fig trees.
