Our favourite coffee from Joldal Palya is back for a fourth year! The good folks at Unakki estate have upped their processsing game even more this year, so much so that we have decided to buy their pulp sundired arabica in place of the washed.

 For this lot, ripe cherries of mainly Chandragiri varietal were first floated in a syphon. The cherries that sank were then put in a sealed airtight bag for 24 hours and then pulped without water. The coffee was then dried on raised beds for 10 days.

 The result of this careful processing is a banger of a cup that brims with a lot of sweetness and acidity that we can best describe as candied sweetlime and finishes with an almond like nuttiness. It reminds us of all the flavours of last year's iteration of Bahār but with the flavours amped up to 11!

 Bahār the coffee is a delight across all manual brews 7 days from date of roast and makes for a pulpy , textured and sweet limey shot of espresso 14 days from date of roast!

A Sleeping Beauty [Update to my previous review]

While I do stand by all of what I said in my previous review , i do have some new findings to share.I often leave one last dose of coffee in the bag before i move on to my next coffee so I can come back to them for a quick refresh and usually the coffee doesn't change much[since i rest them for atleast 2.5 weeks before I move on] but Bahar after coming back to it after 4 weeks , was much easier to dial in to a point where it had both a bright critic acidity and most of its uncous sweetness that I loved so much from my very first cup . An easy recommendation to anyone who enjoys a clean but balanced cup of coffee , solid 4.5/5

Aaahhh my favorite so far!

This coffee is damn delicious. It is so friggin' sweet, it's unreal. A very prominent cane like sweetness that gets sweeter as the coffee cools. It really is an enigma how a cup of coffee can be so sweet with zero added sugars.

To Sweet To Be True? [2024 harvest]

A very sweet coffee given character by its mild but pleasantly rounded citric acidity. Great for those getting into light roasts for the first time though its tea-like body may be a set back to some. That said, this coffee might be a bit TOO sweet for my tastes. It comes off as a darker roast than last years arabhi which really contributes to the added sweetness but makes it so that its hard to make its crisp citrus acidity the star of the show , it always takes a bit of a back sweet to its sweetness unless you intentionally underextract which is a pleasant cup but lacks even more body and has the sweetness taper off significantly. Its secondary flavour note of dried apricot isn't as pleasant or complimentary to its citric acidity when compared to last years arabhi whose mild jasmine note really accentuated the coffees sweetness and acidity making them all the more enjoyable . That said this is still a great washed coffee to get , especially when compared to what most other roasters are offering at a similar price , that said , I know this isn't the peak of what Akshay is capable of doing with washed coffees. This 4 star comes more from a place of admiration than contempt
