About the style
Specialty coffee is graded on cup quality and traceable to a single origin. Natural (dry) processing dries the whole cherry, letting the fruit ferment onto the bean — bigger body and wild, jammy, sometimes boozy sweetness. This one is a dark roast from India.
How to serve
Grind fresh and brew around a 1:16 ratio at 92–96°C; aim for a 2.5–3.5 minute filter brew. Lighter roasts suit pour-over; darker roasts shine as espresso.
Pairs with
Rich, dark cups pair with chocolate, caramel, and toasted nuts.
