Hamīrkalyāni

The honey process coffee from last year is even sweeter this time!

Sourced from Krishnagiri estate ,high up in the Chandra drona hills(a.k.a the Giris) of Chikmagalur, this particular lot fascinated us with its sweetness and lingering fruitiness.

Ripe cherries of SLn. 795(our favourite Indian varietal) have been selected and fermented in 2 stages for 96 hours. The coffee is then pulped and slow dried for 10-12 days.

The resulting cup is very sweet, intensely milk chocolate like and bursting with pops of sweetness and acidity resembling coconut water. There is some lychee like tartness in the finish to round the cup out. This very intriguing flavour melange reminds us of the rāga Hamīrkālyani and also makes this coffee very drinkable (we guzzled a lot of cups in testing).

Hamīrkalyāni the coffee, is a delight across all manual brews 14 days from date of roast  and also makes for a very sweet ,partly fruity  shot of espresso 24 days from date of roast.
